What's the meaning of the German word "Peiler"?

Hello,

I have heard about "Kzw./Lgw. Peiler" equipment used by German ground troops to give directions to the Ju 52. How to understand the German word "Peiler"?

Was it just a standard radio situated at a known location, transmitting a specific Morse signal (radio beacon?)? Or rather a radio direction finder?

Thanks in advance!
