From Wikipedia:

"A non-directional (radio) beacon (NDB) is a radio transmitter at a known location, used as an aviation or marine navigational aid. As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information, in contrast to other navigational aids such as low frequency radio range, VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and TACAN. NDB signals follow the curvature of the Earth, so they can be received at much greater distances at lower altitudes, a major advantage over VOR. However, NDB signals are also affected more by atmospheric conditions, mountainous terrain, coastal refraction and electrical storms, particularly at long range."

De Wikipedia:

"Une radiobalise non directionnelle (NDB) est un émetteur radio à un emplacement connu, utilisé comme une aide à la navigation aérienne ou marine.Comme son nom l'indique, le signal transmis ne comprend pas d'informations directionnelles inhérentes, contrairement à d'autres Les signaux NDB suivent la courbure de la Terre, de sorte qu'ils peuvent être reçus à des distances beaucoup plus grandes à basse altitude, un avantage majeur par rapport au VOR. également affecté davantage par les conditions atmosphériques, les terrains montagneux, la réfraction côtière et les orages électriques, en particulier à longue distance.
