Baseline |
The distance between a selected RTK base station and a RTK Rover in kilometres. |
BeiDou |
Chinese satellite system |
Galileo |
European satellite system |
GPS / GLONASS |
GPS is the US-American Global Positioning System via satellites and while GLONASS is the Russian equivalent. Receivers, such as the RGS 325, use GPS satellites, as well as GLONASS satellites, in order to increase the reliability of the correction signal and to reduce the risk of signal shading. |
NTRIP |
Is the standardised method, which is used to transmit RTK correction data via the Internet to rovers and the abbreviation stands for Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol. |
QZSS |
Japanese satellite system |
Rover |
An automatically steerable agricultural vehicle or equipment, which uses a RTK compatible GPS receiver. |
RTCM3 |
Is the file format used for the transmission of RTK correction data and the abbreviation stands for Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services 3. |
RTK |
The abbreviaton stands for Real-Time Kinematic and describes a method of high-precision positioning through satellites and a reference station. |
RTK base station |
Is the reference station which transmitts the required RTK correction data to registered Rovers via mobile communication networks. |
RTK CLUE Cluster |
Single RTK base stations are connected to an individual group of reference stations, the so-called RTK CLUE Clusters, which cover an individual area. |
