GE 154 SATELLITE POSITIONING

LABORATORY EXERCISE 3
RTKLIB Familiarization 2: Kinematic and Real time Positioning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. OBJECTIVES
1. To familiarize the student with GNSS data processing using RTKLIB

II. DATA USED

RINEX OBS: rover.13o and base.13o
RINEX NAV: rover.13p and base.13p

III. METHODOLOGY
Kinematic Post process
1. Double click the rtkpost.exe located inside the bin folder of the rtk_2.4.2 folder.
2. Input the files. Save your solution by specifying a filename e.g.
rover_kinematic_pp.pos.
3. Click the Options tab and follow the set-up below. Select only GPS satellites.

4. Click OK in the options dialog box. Click Execute in the RTKPOST dialog box.
5. Click the Plot tab. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Click the google
earth/google map logo to view the result in google earth/google map.

Q1: What percent of the date were fixed, float and single? Hint: Check the Q
values. Also, look at the Plot window and notice the display located below the
plot.
Kinematic Post process Multi-GNSS
6. Use the same settings as above. Save your solution on a different filename e.g.
rover_kinematic_mgnss_pp.pos. This time select GPS, GLONASS, QZSS and
BEIDOU in the Settings 1 dialog box. Click OK.
7. At the RTKPOST dialog box click Execute.
8. Click the Plot tab to view the results.
9. Compare the result of single positioning (Lab Ex1) with the multi-GNSS solution
by opening solution 2.

Q2: What percent of the data were fixed, float and single using multi-gnss
satellites?

Real time positioning via NTRIP

This exercise will familiarize the student with real time positioning. The GNSS receiver
with antenna installed at the rooftop of Melchor Hall will be used to test data streaming
via NTRIP. The student will connect to this receiver to see the satellites signal received
by this GNSS receiver.
10. In the bin folder of RTKLIB double click RTKNAVI.exe
11. Click the Options tab then do the following settings. Click OK when done.
12. At the RTKNAVI dialog box click the I button at the top right side.

13. In the Input Streams dialog box do the following settings. Then click the Opt
button.

14. At the Opt dialog box do the following. Password is student. Click OK.
 15. Going back to the RTKNAVI dialog box click the Options tab and do the
following settings. Click OK.

16. In the RTKNAVI dialog box click Start. You can change view by clicking the
down arrow below the L button at the top right.

Q3: What is NTRIP? Discuss its role in RTK.

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

 Provide image captures of results. Compare the results of the different methods.
