It's a VOR (VHF Omni Range) installation; the part of an ILS that 
provides a bearing to a given station or waypoint. It transmits both 
an omnidirectional signal and a directional signal, and the 
difference in phase between the two allows a receiver to determine 
the bearing to the station. There may be more to it; that's all I 
remember.
