GPS RTK Base GPS Receiver User Guide 87
Glossary
Moving Base Moving Base is an RTK positioning technique in which both reference and
rover receivers are mobile. Corrections are sent from a “base” receiver to a
“rover” receiver and the resultant baseline (vector) has centimeter-level
accuracy.
MSAS MTSAT Satellite-Based Augmentation System. A satellite-based
augmentation system (SBAS) that provides a free-to-air differential
correction service for GPS. MSAS is the Japanese equivalent of WAAS, which
is available in the United States.
multipath Interference, similar to ghosts on an analog television screen, that occurs
when GPS signals arrive at an antenna having traversed different paths. The
signal traversing the longer path yields a larger pseudorange estimate and
increases the error. Multiple paths can arise from reflections off the ground
or off structures near the antenna.
NMEA National Marine Electronics Association. NMEA 0183 defines the standard
for interfacing marine electronic navigational devices. This standard defines
a number of 'strings' referred to as NMEA strings that contain navigational
details such as positions. Most Trimble GPS receivers can output positions
as NMEA strings.
OmniSTAR The OmniSTAR HP/XP service allows the use of new generation dual-
frequency receivers with the OmniSTAR service. The HP/XP service does not
rely on local reference stations for its signal, but utilizes a global satellite
monitoring network. Additionally, while most current dual-frequency GPS
systems are accurate to within a meter or so, OmniSTAR with XP is accurate
in 3D to better than 30 cm.
PDOP Position Dilution of Precision. PDOP is a DOP value that indicates the
accuracy of three-dimensional measurements. Other DOP values include
VDOP (vertical DOP) and HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision).
Using a maximum PDOP value is ideal for situations where both vertical and
horizontal precision are important.
postprocessing Postprocessing is the processing of satellite data after it has been collected,
in order to eliminate error. This involves using computer software to
compare data from the rover with data collected at the base station.
