DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Principles of Operation
GISmore receiver is based on our TRIUMPH Technology implemented in our TRIUMPH Chip. For the
first time in the GNSS history we offer very powerful GIS field mapping receiver with up to 100 Hz RTK,
216 channels of single frequency GPS, Galileo and GLONASS in a small attractive, sturdy, and
watertight box.
Using its internal Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS connection the receiver can access local GNSS Reference
Station Network. As standard future the GISmore receiver provides access to the SBAS correction
services. In addition to post-processed DGPS capabilities, the GISmore utilizes external correction
services for real-time DGPS mapping and navigation applications.
All GNSS, GSM, and Bluetooth® antennas are conveniently hidden and protected (Figure 1).
Figure 1. GISmore Receiver
GISmore can receive and processes multiple signal types improving the accuracy and reliability of your
survey points and positions, especially under difficult jobsite conditions.
GISmore receiver 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),
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 GISmore receiver provides the functionality, accuracy, availability, and
integrity needed for fast and easy data collection.
The GISmore is a multi-function, multi-purpose receiver intended for precision markets. Precision
markets means markets for equipment, subsystems, components and software for surveying, construction,

commercial mapping, civil engineering, precision agriculture and land-based construction and agriculture
machine control, photogrammetry mapping, hydrographic and any use reasonably related to the
foregoing.
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:
• 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.
1.2. 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.

Calculating Differential Positions
11www.javad.com
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.
• 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 measuring, real-
time kinematic measuring, 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 measuring. 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.

• The Power Supply unit charges the internal battery when connected to a grounded outlet. This unit
converts the alternating current (AC) normally supplied from an electrical outlet to a direct current
(DC) used to charge the batteries and/or power the receiver.
3. Option Authorization File (OAF)
JAVAD GNSS issues an Option Authorization File (OAF) to enable the specific options that customers
purchase. An Option Authorization File allows customers to customize and configure the GISmore
