Accuracy and precision evaluation of two low-cost RTK global navigation satellite systems

摘要

Two low-cost Real-time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK GNSSs) being the Emlid "Reach RTK" and the NavSpark "NS-HP" were evaluated in terms of positioning accuracy and precision. Each GNSSs' rover unit was mounted on a field robot that travelled by manual remote control along a pre-defined test track in six repeated trials. The precision of the two systems was evaluated through F-test statistics.
