referentiestations
Referentiestations, commonly referred to in English as reference stations, are fixed geodetic observation points whose coordinates are known with high accuracy. They carry stable monumentation, dual or multi-frequency GNSS receivers, and antennas to continuously record satellite observations. The primary function is to provide a reference framework for nearby rovers or user receivers, enabling differential corrections and precise positioning.
In GNSS networks, referentiestations form permanent reference networks, such as Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) or
Coordinate frames and metadata are essential aspects of referentiestations. The station coordinates are tied to a
Operation and maintenance considerations include ensuring monument stability, conducting periodic site surveys, calibrating antennas, and monitoring
Applications of referentiestations include geodetic network adjustment, precise surveying, infrastructure monitoring, atmospheric research, and underpinning real-time
