RTK-SMA accuracy problem

Hi,

We’ve been developing a product for a customer with your RTK boards. We’ve purchased 8 of them via different retail channels and as we are approaching to the end we couldn’t achieve accuracy level documented on your site or u-blox documents.

There are diagnostic files and deviation maps of two different RTK-SMA boards attached (ubx files mailed to support).

As you can see, not mm or 1 cm accuracy, location travels 5 to 10 cm.

We committed 2cm to our customer.

Our question is, there is a problem with cable (5&10m RG-58) or antenna (TOPGNSS-106) or NTRIP service or this is the actual capacity of the chip in real life and below cm accuracy is, -in lab conditions etc.- marketing gimmick.

If we can solve the problem, we’ll start the production phase.

Thanks

Your plots are very suspect. How are you capturing your points? NMEA? Have you turned on high precision NMEA? https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/gp … s-receiver

Yes, 14mm accuracy is achievable. The ZED-F9x based receivers stack up very well against professional surveying equipment: https://www.spatialsource.com.au/puttin … -the-test/

While you are using the bare RTK-SMA board, do consider your reference frame and accuracy of the monument you are basing off of. This tutorial may be helpful: https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_ … ification/

Above is plots captured without (left) and with (right) RTCM corrections. Note how the points very while your points look like they are on a grid. Yes the scales are different, but it looks like your data is being truncated.
