Chapter ⅦStatic Measurement

GPS positioning measurement by installed three (or more) GNSS receivers to perform simultaneous

observation and determine the relative position between the stations.

In this chapter, we are going to introduce how to do Static measurement with SXBLUE PREMIER receiver.

7.1 Antenna Height Measuring

After ﬁ xed the instrument, user should measure antenna height at the beginning and the end of

every period of time to ensure the accuracy ―mm level. We usually measure from the center point on the ground to the center waterproof loop of antenna. That is an inclined height. Please

refer to the following ﬁ gure.

Measuring plate

We use a formula to calculate antenna height.

―h is the inclined height that measure from point on the ground to the measuring plate edge.

is the distance from middle of antenna to the edge of measuring plate.

h0 is the distance from antenna phase center to the bottom of receiver (measuring plate). H is the

calculation result. We usually measure antenna height twice and adopt the average.

Attention : We input the inclined height as the antenna height, which is the inclined distance from point on the

ground to the waterproof loop of antenna.

7.2 Field operation procedure

1) Set up a tripod on the control point, leveling and centering strictly on the measuring point.

2) Measure the instrument height three times, the difference of the results shall not be more than

3mm, and average the results. The instrument height should be measured from the center of the

control point to the mark line on the instrument.(Refer to 7.1.)

3) Record instrument number, point name, instrument height, and start time.

4) Power on receiver, conﬁ rm the static mode, the mainframe begins to search satellites and satellite lights begin to ﬂ ash. Recording condition reached, the status light ﬂ ashes in accordance with the set sampling interval, ﬂ ashing once indicates the acquisition of an epoch.
