Eureka
A responder beacon on the ground normally used in conjunction with an airborne Rebecca system for providing distance measurement. It operates over a frequency band of 196 to 240 MHz. Directional aerials mounted on either side of the aircraft receive the signals. Returns from the port are received more strongly by the port aerial, and vice versa.
