IN-BAND RACON
A racon which transmits in the marine radar frequency band. There are two types of in-band racons, swept-frequency racons and experimental fixed-frequency racons. The transmitter of the sweptfrequency racon sweeps through a range of frequencies within the band to insure that a radar receiver tuned to a particular frequency within the band will be able to detect the signal. The fixed-frequency racon transmits on

HERTZ
A unit in the metric system used to measure frequency in cycles per second. Its symbol is Hz.

INFRARED
Having a frequency immediately beyond the red end of the visible spectrum; rays of longer wavelength than visible light, but shorter than radio waves.

INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY
In super heterodyne reception, the frequency which is derived by mixing the signalcarrying frequency with the local oscillator frequency. If there are more than one such mixing process, the successive intermediate frequencies are known as the first, second, etc. intermediate frequency.
