What is RTK?

RTK, short for Real-Time Kinematic, is a technique that uses GNSS data received by a base station to transmit RTK correction data in real-time to a rover station. The rover station compares the received GNSS data with its own data in real-time and performs error correction, ultimately achieving centimeter-level positioning accuracy.

Exceptional Positioning Accuracy

RTK Mode
Horizontal: 0.01 m + 1 ppm* (CEP)
Vertical: 0.01 m + 1 ppm* (Median)
Velocity: 0.05m/s, Dynamic Heading: 0.3 deg

Real-Time Kinematic, i.e., the real-time kinematic positioning mode.

 

* Measured using a 1 km baseline. The ppm limitation applies within a maximum baseline range of 20 km.


SBAS Mode
Horizontal: 0.3 m* (CEP)

i.e., Satellite-Based Augmentation System Positioning Mode

* Based on a 1-hour static test.

Powerful Data Logging Capability

The EX-1 can simultaneously record data in the following formats, supporting data update rates of up to 10 Hz.

NMEA

NMEA, or National Marine Electronics Association, is the standard protocol for GNSS device communication. It includes comprehensive positioning information such as coordinates, time, speed, heading, altitude and satellite data.
* Supports NMEA 0183 version 4.11.


UBX

UBX is a proprietary data protocol by u-blox. It includes complete raw satellite reception data, which can be used for Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) analysis.


RTCM

RTCM, or Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services, includes differential Corrections, satellite status information, reference station data, satellite ephemeris data, and receiver control and configuration information. Together with raw data, it enables PPK post-processing on stored data.
* Supports RTCM 10403.3 version.

 

Multiple Connection Options

Bluetooth Channel 1


Supports Bluetooth connection to NTRIP Caster, such as GeoAstra, providing the EX-1 with real-time kinematic correction data.

Bluetooth Channel 2


Supports Bluetooth connection to mobile terminal devices, providing real-time navigation data to mobile devices.

Wired Channel


Supports USB connection to a computer, providing rich positioning data suitable for data collection, surveying, and other applications.


* Each Bluetooth channel supports both SPP and BLE modes. All three channels can connect simultaneously.

 

EX-1 Field Test Performance

1. RTK Mode - Static Testing

Objective: Evaluate whether the positioning accuracy of the EX-1 in a stationary position meets the nominal value.
Duration: 1 hour | Update Rate: 1 Hz | Date: UTC 2024-07-24 15:37:16 ~ 16:37:15
Method: The receiving antenna was completely stationary, collecting 3,600 continuous track points to calculate the CEP value based on the average position.
Conditions: Conducted on a rooftop with open sky, approximately 100 meters RTK baseline distance.

Conclusion: The CEP (50%) accuracy was 0.002633m, exceeding the nominal value of 0.01m. This means that half of the positioning points fell within a circle centered on the average position, with a radius of 0.002633m. The CEP (100%) accuracy also achieved an excellent 0.010303m.


2. RTK Mode - Dynamic Testing

Objective: Evaluate the positioning accuracy of the EX-1 during movement.
Duration: 96 seconds | Update Rate: 1 Hz | Date: UTC 2024-07-24 20:55:09 ~ 20:56:44 | Laps: 1 lap
Method: The phase center of the antenna was placed at the edge of a disk with a diameter of only 40 cm, rotating at a speed of approximately 90 seconds per lap (linear speed of about 1.4 cm/second).
Conditions: Conducted on a rooftop with open sky, approximately 100 meters RTK baseline distance.

The left and right images were recorded synchronously during the test.

Conclusion: Recording ultra-low-speed motion tracks presents significant challenges for RTK devices. In this test, the EX-1's motion track coincided with a circle of 20 cm radius in the target diagram, confirming the disk's radius as 20 cm.


3. RTK Mode - Dynamic Stability Testing

Objective: Evaluate the tracking accuracy of the EX-1 during movement.
Duration: 927 seconds | Update Rate: 1 Hz | Test Time: UTC 2024-07-22 16:36:09 ~ 16:51:35 | Laps: 10 laps
Method: Same as the "Dynamic Testing," recording the track over ten continuous laps.
Conditions: Same as the "Dynamic Testing."

The above image shows a close-up of the track (1 cm/div).

Conclusion: The consistency of the track during continuous laps was excellent, with a width maintained at around 1 cm throughout.

4. SBAS Mode - Stand-alone Static Testing

Objective: Evaluate whether the positioning accuracy of the EX-1 in a stationary position meets the nominal value.
Duration: 1 hour | Update Rate: 1 Hz | Date: UTC 2024-08-22 23:16:06 ~ 2024-08-23 00:16:05
Method: The receiving antenna was completely stationary, collecting 3,600 continuous track points to calculate the CEP value based on the average position.
Conditions: Conducted on a rooftop with open sky,
achieve differential satellite positioning throughout.
