RTK Base Stations consist of a GPS Receiver and a Radio Modem to broadcast corrections to the rover machine i.e. tile plow, trencher, dozer or scraper.
AgGPS® RTK Base Station The Trimble AgGPS® 442 GNSS Base Station is an integrated GPS receiver and radio that supports GPS, GLONASS, RTK and L1/L2, L2C signals. The addition of L2C and GLONASS signals improves performance in tough satellite environments such as rough terrain, and in areas with limited periods of GPS signal availability.GNSS is an acronym for Global Navigation Satellite Systems and is used when a receiver can support signals from multiple sources such as GPS, GLONASS, GPS modernization (L2C) and RTK.
The AgGPS RTK Base 900 base station provides reliable +/- one inch pass-to-pass and year-to-year repeatability for agricultural vehicles that are using the AgGPS Autopilot™ automated steering system. Both systems are lightweight and portable for highly mobile on-farm use. The compact housing (shown below) contains a GPS receiver, a radio, and a long-life battery weighing in at only 3.64 lbs (1.65 kg). Both base station receivers have a 24-channel L1/L2, and can even be used as part of an RTK network solution. |
