Homonym: RTK (Real-Time)
RTK, or Real-Time Kinematic, is a satellite navigation technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It achieves this by using a fixed base station that sends correction signals to a mobile receiver, allowing for centimeter-level accuracy in positioning.
This technology is widely used in various applications, including geodesy, surveying, and agriculture. By providing real-time corrections, RTK enables users to obtain highly accurate location information, which is essential for tasks such as mapping, construction, and autonomous vehicle navigation.
