Functions of Real-Time Kinematics
• RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique that
uses carrier-based ranging and provides ranges (and therefore
positions) that are orders of magnitude more precise than those
available through code-based positioning. RTK techniques are
complicated. The basic concept is to reduce and remove errors
common to a base station and rover pair.
• RTK is mainly used for applications that require higher accuracy
such as:
1. Cadastral surveying
2. Construction activities
3. Drones navigation.
• Surveying with GNSS RTK receiver saves time, energy, and
cost allowing more work to get done with accurate results.
• The GNSS-RTK approach has been applied to various types of
topographic surveys, including those done for the utility industry,
forestry and natural resources, land management, landscaping,
precision farming, civil engineering, land-deformation
monitoring, and open-pit mining.
• RTK is used for applications that require higher accuracies, such
as centimeter-level positioning, up to 1 cm + 1 ppm accuracy.
Procedures in Setting-up a
Real Time Kinematics
• Setting-up the Base Station.
1. Setup a tripod with a tribrach and adapter over a point whether
it`s a hub and tack you put in the ground or a permanent
monument already on site. Level over the point making sure the
tripod is secure.
2. Once levelling is done, twist on the supporting pole to the tribrach
adapter center piece.
3. Twist on the GNSS receiver to the pole.
4. If you have adapter for pole extender, attached the adapter to
the tribrach and twist the pole extender together with the radio
antenna to the adapter.
5. If radio antenna is separate with the base rover. Setup a tripod
with a tribrach, once it is levelled, attached the radio antenna to
the pole and twist on the pole to the tribrach.
6. Prepare the Power Supply and Assembly cables then attach the
External Radio into the tripod.
7. In setting up External Radio, use the Assembly Cable. The big
plug must be connected to the external radio port then look for
the 5-pin port of GNSS receiver. Connect the small plug to the
GNSS receiver.
8. Connect the Antenna cable to the External Radio.
9. Use the Power plug and plug it to the Power Supply.
10. Make sure that the GNSS receiver is setup to external mode,
you can use the Data Collector or Survey Controller to setup the
External radio mode from internal to external or GPS mode.
11. Turn on the GNSS receiver and wait for several minutes to let
the GNSS receiver to attract satellite signal. After the GNSS
receiver attract minimum number of satellites, it will
automatically transmit.
12. Turn on the External Radio, notice the LED display is blinking
meaning that the External Radio is transmitting signal. You can
change the channel by pressing the up and down button. Then
check the Rover.

• Setting-up the Rover.


1. Assemble the range pole and twist on the GNSS receiver.
2. If Bipod is available, use the bipod to hold the pole with the
receiver in the upright position.
3. Twist on the Radio antenna in the GNSS receiver.
4. Remove the Battery Cover and place a battery into the Battery
holder and place back the cover.
5. Power up the GNSS Receiver.
6. Attached the Bracket for controller into the Rover pole.
7. Place the Survey Controller into the Bracket.

• Setting-up the Survey Controller.


1. Power up the Survey Controller.
2. Check for the “Fixed” solution displayed in the device.
3. Check for the number of satellites gathered by the GNSS receiver.
4. Make sure to set your survey style and configure the Survey
Collector before heading to the field.
5. If you use a feature code and Attribute library make sure this is
loaded in the Survey Collector.
6. Set the windows setting to suite your personal style.
7. Make sure you have a screen cover on your Survey Controller.
