GNSS RTK

Global Navigation Satellite System Real-Time Kinematic (GNSS RTK) is a high-precision positioning technique that uses carrier phase measurements from a reference receiver at a known location to correct the position estimates of a rover receiver in real time. Developed in the 1980s, RTK exploits spatial correlation of atmospheric errors to achieve centimeter-level accuracy within tens of kilometers of the reference station. RTK is now standard in surveying, construction, autonomous vehicles, and precision agriculture.
