ABSTRACT:
A homing system for directing the user to one of a plurality of objects and/or locations comprises a plurality of remote modules and a mobile module. The remote modules transmit an uncoded nondirectional response signal after receiving a coded request signal. The mobile module at spaced intervals transmits coded nondirectional request signals. The mobile module generates internal representation of the distance between the receiving means and the selected module from the time measured between the transmission of the request signal and the receipt of the response signal.
