High Precision GNSS for Mapping & GIS Professionals
Agenda Address your needs for GNSS knowledge. GNSS Basics Satellite Ranging Fundamentals (Code $ Carrier) Differential Corrections (Post Processed $ Real Time) Real Time Corrections (Radio & Cellular) GNSS System Components Geodesy 101 Are you practicing Land Surveying? The Gray Area.
Your Needs for GNSS Knowledge Who s using it? (You/Coworkers) What kind of unit/precision? (10m or 10cm) Where are you using it? (Locally/Remotely) When are you using it? (Daily Use/Project Specific) Why are you using it? (Requirement/Value Added) How are you using it? (Business Line/Application)
GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System
GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System NAVSTAR GLONASS
The Constellations NAVSTAR aka GPS (United States DoD) 31/36 (Block III) GLONASS (Russian Federation) 24/27 Galileo (European Union) 11+4+3/30 BeiDou aka Compass (People s Republic of China) 21/35 QZSS (Japan Regional) We might be able to use this. IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System)
So that s cool, but how do we get PRECISION??? We must know where the satellite is, and we must determine the distance to it. We refer to this as satellite RANGING.
Four Satellite Minimum (X, Y, Z, Time)
Code Ranging From Satellite Measurement of time difference between the same part of code. To Receiver Distance = Speed Of Light x Time Difference
Carrier Ranging = First Partial Wavelength N = Integer Ambiguity Solving for the integer ambiguity yields centimeter precision.
So that s cool, but how do we get PRECISION??? We must have a second receiver on a known point. From this receiver second, we can generate a DIFFERENTIAL correction.

Real Time Correction Comparison RADIO Limited Range Relies on a Battery Requires a FCC License Limited by baseline length More Equipment / Investment CELLULAR DATA Limited to Cell Availability Requires a cellular data plan May require subscription. Allows for Multi Station Solution (Better) Less Equipment / Typically 60% Investment vs Radio.

So that s cool, but how do we get ACCURACY??? 1. Use a High Precision GNSS Receiver 2. Use Proper Field Procedures 3. Apply sound Geodetic Principles

AS 08.48.341. (13) "practice of land surveying" means the teaching of land surveying courses at an institution of higher learning, or any service or work the adequate performance of which involves the application of special knowledge of the principles of mathematics, the related physical and applied sciences, and the relevant requirements of law for adequate evidence of the act of measuring and locating land, geodetic and cadastral surveys for the location and monumentation of property boundaries, for the platting and planning of land and subdivisions of land, including the topography, alignment, and grades for streets, and for the preparation and perpetuation of maps, record plats, field note records, and property descriptions that represent these surveys;
