RTCA -
Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, an
organization which developed and defined a message format for
differential positioning.
RTCM -
Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services, an
organization which developed and defined the SC-104 message
format for differential positioning.
RTK -
real-time kinematic, a type of differential positioning
based on observations of carrier phase.
Site -
A location or survey point where GPS data is collected.
Static Surveying -
A method of GPS surveying that involves
simultaneous observations between stationary receivers. Post-
processing computes the vector between points.
SV - S
pace Vehicle or Satellites Visible
Undulation -
The distance of the geoid above (positive) or
below (negative) the mathematical reference ellipsoid
(spheroid). Also known as geoidal separation, geoidal
undulation, and geoidal height.
Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) -
Time as maintained by
the U.S. Naval Observatory. Because of variations in the Earth’s
rotation, UTC is sometimes adjusted by an integer second. The
accumulation of these adjustments compared to GPS time,
which runs continuously, has resulted in an 19 second offset
between GPS time and UTC at the start of 2000. After accounting
for leap seconds and using adjustments contained in the
navigation message, GPS time can be related to UTC within 20
nanoseconds or better.
