11. RTK Network Overview Steps to install Area Survey Distance Between Stations Based on Radio Coverage  RTK Error Increases at 2mm/km  At 20km => 20mm + 40mm ±(10 mm + 1 ppm) RMS, ± (0.38 in +1 ppm) RMS Radio Coverage Will Vary by Location, Antennas  15km (9 miles) Range is Good Rule of Thumb with a 2 Watt radio (single base station only) Place Base Stations to Optimize Coverage  Fill in Holes with Repeaters

12. RTK Network Overview Steps to install Area Survey NB; Actual coverage will vary with terrain, obstructions, radio antenna model, radio antenna height, and other factors. To estimate the coverage range of each base station, use a radius of 10 km with a 2 Watt radio.

13. RTK Network Overview Steps to install Area Survey Determine Where Coverage is Needed  Use a Local Map  Topo Map  Topo SW Package Look for Possible Base Station Sites  High Ground  Easy Access  Existing structures Factors That Affect Radio Performance  Terrain  Obstructions  Foliage “Can You Hear Me Now?”  Survey Coverage Area with Radio  95% CMR Packets is Optimal

14. RTK Network Overview Steps to install Area Survey GPS Coverage – Look Up  Clear View of Sky  Minimal Multipath Sources Radio Coverage - Look Out  Above Local Obstructions  Existing Structure or Free Standing Tower Look Down  Site Security  Power  Accessibility

15. RTK Network Overview Steps to install Installation 1.5 - 2 m Above highest obstruction Reduce the risk of multipath errors Clear view of the sky Rigid mounting Any GPS antenna movement will translate into vehicle movement Square : 50 x 50 x 3 mm Round : Ø 42 x 3 mm GPS Antenna
