DGPS
DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) data is mainly transmitted in the low frequency band e.g.,
285 - 315 kHz. It is a correction signal for GPS receivers, and is used to increase the accuracy of the sat-
ellite-based GPS signal. DGPS is based on the transmission of correction data by a reference station, the
position of which has been determined with high accuracy by traditional position-finding measurements.
With the correction data, an absolute accuracy to within 4 meters can be achieved.

Transmissions use MSK (Minimum Shift Keying) with speeds of 100 or 200 baud.
DGPS has been implemented according to RTCM SC-104 "Recommended Standards for Differential
Navstar DGPS Service" v.2.0, Jan. 1990.
These messages are decoded: 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 16.
These messages are NOT decoded, but their type is indicated: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15,
17, 60-64.
Compared to M.823-2 messages 4 and 5 are not decoded by my implementation neither are the
equivalent GLONASS.
DGPS data, which is formatted according to RTCM v.2.0 or 2.1, is continuously transmitted in frames con-
sisting of a varying number of data words. The two first words of each frame contain the reference station
id, the message type, a sequence number, the frame length and the health of data. A data word has a
length of 30 bits: 24 data bits and 6 parity bits. The last two bits of a word are used as an EXOR function
for selected bits of the succeeding data word. The value of the last bit indicates whether the next data
word is sent with inverse or normal polarity.
