WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) a set of corrections for the GPS satellites,
which are valid for the Americas region. They incorporate satellite orbit and clock
corrections.
RCP a NavCom Technology, Inc. proprietary processing technique in which carrier
phase measurements, free of Ionospheric and Troposphere effects are used for
navigation.
RTG Real Time GIPSY, a processing technique developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory to provide a single set of real time global corrections for the GPS satellites.
RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services) a standard format for
Differential GPS corrections used to transmit corrections from a base station to rovers.
RTCM allows both real-time kinematic (RTK) data collection and post-processed
differential data collection. RTCM SC-104 (RTCM Special Committee 104) is the most
commonly used version of RTCM message.
Compact Measurement Record (CMR) a standard format for DGPS corrections used
to transmit corrections from a reference station to rover sensors.
