3 PDLHPB The PDL High Power Base (PDLHPB) connects directly to your RTK GPS reference station and offers both high and low power outputs. PDLHPB kits offer a complete system that compliments your GPS equipment, and meets the requirements for survey and machine control applications. SURVEYING The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides extremely accurate position and timing information. A technique called Differential GPS (DGPS) is used to increase the accuracy of the GPS system. For the highest levels of performance, a technique known as Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is used allowing one to two centimeters position accuracy. The fundamental concept of DGPS/RTK is the use of a reference GPS receiver placed in a known location.the reference receiver monitors the system errors and formats correction messages that are transmitted to other GPS user equipment.

9 TIPS & TRICKS OPTIMAL SETUP Paying attention to a few simple factors and selecting a data link system that suits your surveying needs and business strategy enables you to improve the performance, enhance the cost-effectiveness, and increase the user-satisfaction of your RTK survey system. The key considerations in choosing a radio-modem data link for RTK survey applications are: RF output power Receiver sensitivity Antenna gain and siting Feed-line losses RF Output Power The first radio system specification to understand is the specification for RF output power. A radiomodem data link functions just like a miniature version of a large commercial radio or TV station, and the RF output power indicates the transmitter s basic ability to propagate the signal to further distances. Depending on the region or country, the RF output power is limited by regulations. In the U.S., the limit for RF power in survey itinerant operations is 35 Watts. In Europe, the regulations vary from country to country. In general, the higher the RF output power, the better.the cost of higher RF output power is higher overall system power consumption. Larger batteries are required for operation, batteries may require more frequent recharging and/or replacement, and the integration of high and medium power radio transmitters may be more difficult. Rule of thumb: Go with the highest power RF output available. Receiver Sensitivity The next fundamental system specification to understand is for the radio receiver sensitivity.the more sensitive the receiver, the better its ability to receive signals from distant transmitters. Receiver sensitivity is derived from the core design of the radio receiver. The true art in radio receiver design is to select and implement a design that enhances the ability of the receiver to resolve very weak signals. In addition to the sensitivity provided by its core design, the ability of a receiver to receive weak signals can be enhanced by other means.the most costeffective approach is forward error correction (FEC). This is an advanced technology that improves receiver sensitivity by adding redundant information to the data signal in a manner that allows a receiver to detect and correct errors that occur from weak signals. Radio receivers designed for high sensitivity always include FEC. In general, the higher the receiver sensitivity, the better.the cost of increased sensitivity comes from the higher quality components that are required, as well as the greater care required in tuning the receiver and verifying sensitivity performance. Rule of thumb: Go with the highest receiver sensitivity available that uses FEC technology. Bit-Error Rate FEC ON FEC OFF S/N (db (Noise Bandwidth = Bit Rate) Antenna Gain and Siting Antenna gain refers to the focusing of the RF energy (either the signal emitting from a transmitter or being picked up by receiver) and is generally represented in terms of db with respect to either a theoretical isotropic antenna (dbi), or a dipole antenna (dbd). Antennas measured with dbi gain rate are commonly utilized for general-purpose portable systems or mobile whip antennas, and those showing a dbd gain rate are commonly used for fixed base stations and higher-quality installations.

10 In addition, antennas are divided in two categories: directional and omni-directional. Each type of antenna offers a different radiation pattern. Directional antennas (yagi) have an increased vertical radiation pattern with a decreased horizontal radiation pattern. Highgain omni-directional antennas have an increased horizontal pattern with a decreased vertical pattern. Directional yagi antennas allow the use of relatively low power radio transmitter to send data over long distances; they are ideal for point-to-point fixed location applications. Omni-directional antennas are recommended when the signal transmission between the transmitter and the receiver is constantly changing. These types of antennas are best for mobile point-topoint or point-to-multipoint communication systems. Horizontal Gain Horizontal Gain Antenna Antenna Vertical Gain Vertical Gain Complementary to antenna gain is antenna siting. It is important to position any antenna to optimize line-of-sight within a communications system. Antenna gain will increase if the signal path is free of obstructions. Always place the antenna on the highest point available.at a minimum, set the antenna to at least ten feet above the terrain using an antenna mast. Rule of Thumb: Select the type of antenna that best fits your application and the one that offers the highest db gain. In addition, setup your system in the highest possible location to minimize obstacles between the transmitting and receiving systems. Range varies by environment Feed-Line Losses Also important to consider for system specifications is feed-line loss. Decrease of the signal starts from the moment the signal leaves the transmitter. Most fixed radio frequency data communication systems have the radio equipment connected to the antenna through a coaxial cable.this cable can be a source of signal loss (about 1 db per connection in addition to cable attenuation) and should be optimized for best system performance. TIPS & The feed-line cable is the source of at least two types of feed-line losses. One is when the connection of a coaxial cable to the antenna port of the radio acts as an impedance boundary reflecting the RF energy back to the transmitter. It is important to use coaxial cable and connectors that can minimize or eliminate the impedance mismatch.the second type of feed-line loss is the attenuation of the signal as it propagates along the length of the cable. Attenuation of the signal can be caused by the leakage of RF though imperfect shielding of the cable as well as resistance in the cable conductors. Note: that all these considerations apply to all radio system setups, including the receiver. Rule of Thumb: Use coaxial cable and connectors that are impedance-matched with the radio equipment, and make sure to use the shortest length of cable to move the signal between the radio and the antenna.

11 RX PWR PDL CHANNEL ON/OFF TX RX PWR PDL CHANNEL ON/OFF TIPS & TRICKS Tripod Top Mount TIPS & GPS Data / Power Cable Battery Cable 8 PDL Base System Setup Side Bracket Mount Base Setup System performance and range is highly dependent on antenna location.to get the most out of your system, we recommend using a separate tripod and the tripod-top mount configuration. A side bracket mount can be used to place a PDLLPB on the same tripod that is used for the GPS antenna. 8 Antenna Antenna Mount Rule of thumb: Elevate antenna and ensure a stable setup. Do not extend the antenna mast in conditions of high wind or in situations where uneven terrain or other soil conditions provide an unstable base. Keep the area surrounding the Tripod Antenna Mast clear and exercise caution to prevent injury or damage to property. LICENSING AND REGULATIONS Before licensing any frequency it is a good idea to ascertain the appropriateness of the frequency for a particular application. You are generally allowed to monitor the frequency and request another should the frequency prove inappropriate for the application. Keep in mind that the frequency coordinator knows how many people may be licensed on a given frequency in a given area, however they do not know the usage pattern or incidences of illegal use of that frequency. Rule of thumb: Monitor frequencies in your area prior to licensing. Be properly licensed prior to beginning transmissions. License and use itinerant frequencies if your area of operation changes routinely.
