With the development of science and technology, various scientific and technological products in the world have been developed to a great extent, and the technical application of GPS measurement technology has become more precise and precise, so RTK technology has emerged. With the continuous development of science and technology, the global application of satellite positioning technology is becoming more and more extensive, and there are higher requirements for the accuracy and speed of RTK technology. Therefore, RTK technology has been developed from a traditional to a wide-area differential system, which greatly improves the measurement range and makes data transmission more convenient. So, what are the applications of RTK technology?

What are the applications of RTK technology

1. Topographic mapping

Using the traditional method for map measurement must first establish a map root control point, and then set up a total station or theodolite to use with a small plate for measurement. Now using RTK technology, there is no need for such troublesome steps. It only takes a person to spend a few seconds at the location to be measured, and then cooperate with a professional RTK instrument to accurately obtain the pointing accuracy.

2. Construction lofting

This is a branch of measurement, which needs to locate the artificially designed points on the spot. There are many traditional methods. It needs to move the target point back and forth, and two or three people are required to complete it together. With RTK, only one person can complete it.

In short, nowadays, the application of RTK technology is very extensive, and RTK is applied in many industries and aspects, and RTK brings great convenience.

RTK’s widest range of positioning technologies

First of all, a base station must be established for RTK to receive satellite signals and send them to users in real-time through the wireless communication network. quantity. RTK positioning technology is a real-time dynamic positioning technology based on carrier phase observations, and high-precision GPS measurements must use carrier phase observations, so RTK technology is widely used in GPS measurements.

The use of RTK technology can obtain the measurement values we need in real-time, and RTK has extremely high accuracy, reaching decimeters or even centimeter-level positioning. The current satellite positioning technology is widely used, and high-precision, fast-speed technology will get more demand, so RTK technology is currently the most widely used positioning technology.
