Abstract:

Today, new global positioning algorithms, techniques and technologies are emerging thanks to services such as International Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Service (IGS) that offer orbit and clock correction data of satellite systems to all GNSS users. These solutions are developed in order to eliminate the disadvantages of current positioning techniques such as requiring more than one GNSS receiver and not exceeding a certain distance between the reference station and the rover. One of these innovative technology products is Trimble CenterPoint RTX Post-Processing (Trimble-RTX) technology. In this study, the point positioning performance of the Trimble-RTX service was investigated. The 31-day RINEX data obtained from 2 IGS stations are used in 4 different satellite combinations (GPS (G), GPS+GLONASS (G+R), GPS+GALILEO (G+E), GPS+GLONASS+GALILEO (G+R+E)) processed with Trimble-RTX. By comparing the obtained coordinates with the coordinates of the stations published by IGS, the accuracy and precision of the coordinates were evaluated for each satellite combination. As a result of the evaluation, it was seen that there were generally no significant differences between the results obtained from 4 different satellite combinations at the stations.
