Rover performance
The RTK performance of the rover receiver does not depend on the format (except for RTCM v2) of the base station observables in use in any significant way.
The difference in performance is based on:
-
how many satellites can be transmitted over the radio link.
-
how the base antenna information is transmitted.
Note that the vendor of the base station does make a difference, regardless of the format used:
-
There can be interoperability issues of the measurements made between different vendors, as well as interoperability issues based on the application of antenna models.
-
When using a Trimble base station with modern firmware, the xFill offset is transmitted to the rover receiver allowing xFill to be available much faster than with a third-part or older base station.
