64MB memory for millimeter level position accuracy
from post-processing. The receiver may be
configured as base or rover. It is capable of NCT

Accuracy
When WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, or GAGAN
(RTCA/DO-229D compliant) SBAS correction signals
are used, the system provides <50cm position
accuracy.
System accuracy with WAAS,
EGNOS, MSAS, or GAGAN signals is
subject to the quality and update rate
of these publicly-operated signals.
Refer to Related Standards\Publicly-Operated SBAS Signals for contact
information regarding the
organizations that implement the
RTCA/DO-229D standard.
The system provides instant <0.5cm position
accuracy when
1
UltraRTK™ correction signals are
used (base-line, <40km, 0.5cm +1ppm). UltraRTK™
requires GPS software version 4.2 or higher.
The system provides instant <1cm position accuracy
when RTK correction signals are used (base-line,
<10km, 1cm +1ppm).
After RTK correction signals are
received, it takes approximately one
minute to enter RTK mode.

Antennae
Standard
The standard integrated
antenna (PN: 82-001002-
3002) tracks all GPS,
WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN, and StarFire™
signals. The compact GPS antenna has excellent
tracking performance and a stable phase center for
GPS L1 and L2. This antenna is listed in the NOAA
GPS Antenna Calibration tables, as NAVAN2004T.
The robust housing assembly features a standard
5/8” BSW thread for mounting directly to a surveyo
pole, tripod, or mast and is certified to 70,000 feet
(see Specifications for restrictions).
r’s
Although rated to 70K feet, this antenna is not
designed for aircraft installations. Contact
sales@navcomtech.com
for aircraft solutions.
Spread Spectrum Radio Antenna
The RT-3020, configured as a reference
station or rover, communicates via the
integrated 2-way, 2.4GHz Spread
Spectrum Radio (SSR). The SSR was
designed specifically for GPS RTK. It
has built-in interference rejection to
prevent extraneous radio signals from
interfering with the reception or transmission of the
correction data.
The supplied SSR 2.4GHz Radio Antenna (PN: 91310020-3001) includes the antenna with mount. The
antenna has a black polyurethane finish and a female
TNC connector.
1-22
RT-3020 User Guide – Rev. F
The SSR 2.4GHz Radio Antenna
without mount (PN: 82-001000-0003)
is an option.
The RT-3020 complies with FCC
exposure limits. Individuals are
required to be a minimum of 20 cm
(8 in) away from the SSR transmitting
antenna when used in the basic
configuration. If the transmitting
system is modified from the basic
setup, check FCC regulations for
compliance with exposure limits.
Airborne (option)
The airborne integrated
antenna (PN: 82-001002-
3001) tracks all GPS,
WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS,
GAGAN, and StarFire™ signals. The compact GPS
antenna has excellent tracking performance and a
stable phase center for GPS L1 and L2. This antenna
is listed in the NOAA GPS Antenna Calibration tables,
as NAVAN2008T. The robust housing assembly
features a flat mounting surface with four mounting
holes and a downward facing TNC connector. This
antenna is also certified to 70,000 feet (see
Specifications for restrictions).
Controller
The RT-3020 GPS sensor is designed for use with an
external controller solution connected via one of two
serial COM ports.
This may be accomplished using a PC, Tablet PC or
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and a software
program which implements the rich control language

defined for NavCom GPS products. Refer to the
user’s guide of your controller solution for further
information. NavCom lists several application
software solutions on our website:
The RTK/UltraRTK™ algorithm developed by
NavCom provides fast initialization and the NCT ultra
compact binary data format for RTK/UltraRTK™
ensures robust data throughput on the built-in spread
spectrum radio.
Positioning Flexibility
The RT-3020 is capable of using WAAS, EGNOS,
MSAS, GAGAN (RTCA/DO-229D compliant) code
corrections via two internal Satellite Based
Augmentation System (SBAS) channels. The
RT-3020 automatically configures to use the most
suitable correction source available and changes as
the survey dictates (this feature can be overridden).
