Abstract Rho-theta radio-technical systems of short-range navigation are intended to determine the aircrafts’ position at a distance of not more than 400–500 km from the radio beacon. Radio beacons make the content of the ground part—azimuth and range. Toward these radio beacons which are located in the points with known coordinates, aircrafts determine azimuth and slant range. Radio beacons are placed in the air fields’ areas and in the points which correspond to the distinctive segments of air routes. Azimuth and range radio beacons operate independently from each other but constructively they can be placed in common instrument room and have combined antennas that have omnidirectional emission in horizontal surface.
