Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning base station technology, specifically to an RTK positioning base station. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, outdoor navigation is mainly achieved through the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). The GNSS point positioning method achieves positioning function through the principle of triangulation. As long as the distance measurement information between three or more satellites and the user is obtained, the user's actual location information can be calculated.
[0003] However, GNSS point positioning methods have a problem: most users' smart terminals are mobile phones, tablets, etc., which mostly use small, low-cost linearly polarized antennas. These antennas are highly sensitive and can still receive satellite data when the GNSS signal strength is low. But because of this, they are also very susceptible to interference from multipath signals, resulting in low positioning accuracy, usually only at the meter level. In contrast, GNSS positioning methods based on real-time dynamic differential positioning (RTK) technology use synchronized observation data from the base station and the rover to eliminate satellite clock errors and receiver clock errors, achieving high-precision positioning with an accuracy of up to the centimeter level, significantly better than the single-point positioning accuracy of traditional GPS.
[0004] However, RTK positioning technology also has its limitations. It requires observation data from two receivers, and if the user's terminal is used as the mobile station, an additional base station is needed. Therefore, RTK positioning technology has high requirements for the number of base stations. To ensure the coverage of RTK positioning, a large number of base stations need to be built, which greatly increases costs. Therefore, using a power distribution box as a container to create a portable mobile RTK positioning base station is a good choice from both a cost and feasibility perspective. However, mobile RTK positioning base stations are generally placed in harsh, open-air environments, and water ingress and power supply are pressing issues that need to be addressed.
