System Components

An RTK system is made up of a number of components that, at first glance, may seem

a bit overwhelming. On the contrary, setup of an RTK system is not a complicated

task. The trick is understanding the purpose of each component in the system and

how they relate to each other. With this understanding, connecting the hardware

components and using the software components becomes logical and straightfor-

ward.

An RTK system includes a number of hardware components, each with a specific

function. The ZX SuperStation offers options for many of the components, each with

specific advantages. Choosing the right component will depend on the requirements

and environment in which the system is to be used. In this section, each of the major

components of the ZX SuperStation is presented. If options exist for a specific com-

ponent, each option is discussed.

The GPS receiver, Figure 2.1, processes and stores the satellite signals. An RTK

system requires at least two GPS receivers, a base and a rover.
