Assessment of the Single Frequency Low Cost GPS RTK Positioning

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), nowadays, is to be an important tool for determining positions and times on the real-time and post-processing applications. This study aims to assess the performance of the single frequency L1-GPS using low cost receivers. The performance will be evaluated by comparing with the geodetic L1+L2 GPS receiver to positioning performance. The low cost receivers used were Ublox NEO-M8T and Allystar HD9100. While, the dual frequency GPS TOPCON was used as reference receiver. The results show, RTK mode can improve the accuracy compare with single positioning up to centimetres. In this experiment, the Allystar HD9100 gives a better result than Ublox Neo M8T. However, the result discrepancies may be caused by the simple antenna splitter.
