Abstract

In this study, a method to broadcast real-time kinematics (RTK) corrections over a communication satellite is proposed. RTK corrections generated by the reference station are uplinked to the communication satellite within a multiplexed DVB-S carrier. Corrections are received by a satellite dish and the DVB-S satellite receiver. Better than 18 cm of accuracy is achieved for rover distances of up to 500 km in Turkey. The proposed method can be used as an alternative satellite-based augmentation system for Turkey and other countries.
