Real-time kinematics
Real time kinematic ( english Real Time Kinematic, RTK ) is a method for the precise determination of position coordinates using methods of satellite navigation . It works with simultaneous reception of GNSS satellite signals with geodetic receivers .
As with the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), the precise positions are determined relative to reference stations with fixed coordinates. DGPS methods achieve a spatial resolution in the meter or sub-meter range. RTK is more accurate by the factor that the carrier frequency is higher than the chip rate . The phase measurement is accurate to about 1 mm, but is ambiguous by a multiple of a wavelength, which is about 20 cm at the L1 frequency.
