TRIUMPH-1 can receive and processes multiple signal types (including the latest GPS L2C, GPS
L5, GLONASS C/A L2, and Galileo signals) improving the accuracy and reliability of your
survey points and positions, especially under difficult jobsite conditions.
The GNSS component of TRIUMPH-1 receivers means you can access the GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellites of the United States, the Galileo (an upcoming global positioning

system maintained and operated by Galileo Industries,) and the GLONASS (Global Navigation
Satellite System) satellites of the Russian Federation, increasing the number of satellites your
receiver can detect, thus improving the accuracy of your measuring points, increasing
productivity, and reducing cost.
Several other features, including multipath mitigation and common tracking, provide under-
canopy and low signal strength reception. The TRIUMPH-1 receiver provides the functionality,
accuracy, availability, and integrity needed for fast and easy data collection.
1.1. Principles of Operation
Surveying with the right GNSS receiver can provide users accurate and precise positioning, a
requirement for any surveying project. This section gives an overview of existing and proposed
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and receiver functions to help you understand and
apply basic operating principles, allowing you to get the most out of your receiver.
1.1.1. GNSS Overview
Currently, the following three global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) offer line-of-site radio
navigation and positioning, velocity, and time services on a global, all-weather scale to any user
equipped with a GNSS tracking receiver on or near the Earth’s surface:
• GPS – the Global Positioning System maintained and operated by the United States
Department of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit the US Naval
Observatory website (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/) or the US Coast Guard website
(http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/).
• GLONASS – the Global Navigation Satellite System maintained and operated by the
Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit
the Coordinational Scientific Information Center website (http://www.glonasscenter.ru/
frame_e.html).
• Galileo – an upcoming global positioning system maintained and operated by Galileo
Industries, a joint venture of several European space agencies/companies working closely
with the European Space Agency. Unlike GPS and GLONASS, this is a civil endeavor
and is currently in the development and validation stage. For information on the status of
this system, visit the Galileo Industries website (http://www.galileo-industries.net).
Despite numerous technical differences in the implementation of these systems, satellite
positioning systems have three essential components:

Introduction
Principles of Operation
Calculating Absolute Positions
17www.javad.com
• Space – GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellites orbit approximately 12,000 nautical miles
above Earth and are equipped with a clock and radio. These satellites broadcast ranging
signals and various digital information (ephemerides, almanacs, time&frequency
corrections, etc.).
• Control – Ground stations located around the Earth that monitor the satellites and upload
data, including clock corrections and new ephemerides (satellite positions as a function of
time), to ensure the satellites transmit data properly.
• User – The community and military that use GNSS receivers to calculate positions.
1.1.2. Calculating Absolute Positions
When calculating an absolute position, a stationary or moving receiver determines its three-
dimensional position with respect to the origin of an Earth-Center Earth-Fixed coordinate system.
To calculate this position, the receiver measures the distance (called pseudoranges) between it and
at least four satellites. The measured pseudoranges are corrected for clock differences (receiver
and satellites) and signal propagation delays due to atmospheric effects. The positions of the
satellites are computed from the ephemeris data transmitted to the receiver in navigation
messages. When using a single satellite system, the minimum number of satellites needed to
compute a position is four. In a mixed satellite scenario (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), the receiver
must lock onto five or more satellites to account for the different time scales used in these systems
and to obtain an absolute position.
1.1.3. Calculating Differential Positions
DGPS, or Differential GPS, is a relative positioning technique where the measurements from two
or more remote receivers are combined and processed using sophisticated algorithms to calculate
the receivers’ relative coordinates with high accuracy.
DGPS accommodates various implementation techniques that can be classified according to the
following criteria:
• The type of GNSS measurements used, either code-phase differential measurements or
carrier-phase differential measurements
• If real-time or post-mission results required Real-time applications can be further divided
according to the source of differential data and communication link used.
With DGPS in its most traditional approach, one receiver is placed at a known, surveyed location
and is referred to as the reference receiver or base station. Another receiver is placed at an
unknown location and is referred to as the remote receiver or rover. The reference station collects
the code-phase and carrier-phase measurements from each GNSS satellite in view.

Introduction
Principles of Operation
Essential Components for Quality Surveying
18 www.javad.com
• For real-time applications, these measurements and the reference station coordinates are
then built up to the industry standard RTCM – or various proprietary standards established
for transmitting differential data – and broadcast to the remote receiver(s) using a data
communication link. The remote receiver applies the transmitted measurement
information to its observed measurements of the same satellites.
• For post-mission applications, the simultaneous measurements from reference and rover
stations are normally recorded to the receiver’s internal memory (not sent over
communication link). Later, the data are downloaded to computer, combined, and
processed.
Using this technique, the spatially correlated errors – such as satellite orbital errors, ionospheric
errors, and tropospheric errors – can be significantly reduced, thus improving the position
solution accuracy.
A number of differential positioning implementations exist, including post-processing surveying,
real-time kinematic surveying, maritime radio beacons, geostationary satellites, and satellite
based augmentation systems (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS). The real-time kinematic (RTK) method
is the most precise method of real-time surveying. RTK requires at least two receivers collecting
navigation data and communication data link between the receivers. One of the receivers is
usually at a known location (Base) and the other is at an unknown location (Rover). The Base
receiver collects carrier phase measurements, generates RTK corrections, and sends this data to
the Rover receiver. The Rover processes this transmitted data with its own carrier phase
observations to compute its relative position with high accuracy, achieving an RTK accuracy of
up to 1 cm horizontal and 1.5 cm vertical.
1.1.4. Essential Components for Quality Surveying
Achieving quality position results requires the following elements:
• Accuracy – The accuracy of a position primarily depends upon the satellite geometry
(Geometric Dilution of Precision, or GDOP) and the measurement (ranging) errors.
– Differential positioning (DGPS and RTK) strongly mitigates atmospheric and orbital
errors, and counteracts Selective Availability (SA) signals the US Department of Defense
transmits with GPS signals.
– The more satellites in view, the stronger the signal, the lower the DOP number, the
higher positioning accuracy.
• Availability – The availability of satellites affects the calculation of valid positions. The
more visible satellites available, the more valid and accurate the position. Natural and
man-made objects can block, interrupt, and distort signals, lowering the number of
available satellites and adversely affecting signal reception.

TRIUMPH-1 Receiver

• Integrity – Fault tolerance allows a position to have greater integrity, increasing accuracy.
Several factors combine to provide fault tolerance, including:
– Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) detects faulty GNSS satellites and
removes them from the position calculation.
– Five or more visible satellites for only GPS or only GLONASS; six or more satellites for
mixed scenarios.
– Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (WAAS, EGNOS, etc.) creates and transmit,
along with DGPS corrections, data integrity information (for example, satellite health
warnings).
– Current ephemerides and almanacs.
