The only land-based radar system in Germany at that time was the FumB FREYA (although the exact type escapes me).
It is working as radar system. Radars may have different purposes. As one of many - radio naviation. So anyway the name of this system is Radar in English.
Antennas of radar can be receivers or transmitters or both at once, depending ot the purpose and constructions, range of frequiency, etc, and so on...
Votans was just a part of the whole system of radio navigation.
Later we wiill see other types of devices used in that system. Including working devices in aircraft.
