RHCP Right Hand Circular Polarization used to
discriminate satellite signals. GNSS signals are
RHCP.
RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange) is a file
set of standard definitions and formats designed to be
receiver or software manufacturer independent and to
promote the free exchange of GNSS data. The
RINEX file format consists of separate files, the three
most commonly used are:
the observation (.YYo) file,
the navigation (.YYn) file,
meteorological (.YYm) files; where YY indicates
the last two digits of the year the data was
collected.
rover any mobile GNSS receiver and field computer
collecting data in the field. A roving receiver’s position
can be differentially corrected relative to a stationary
reference GNSS receiver or by using GNSS orbit and
clock corrections from a SBAS such as StarFire.
roving receiver see rover.
RTCM (Radio Technical Commission for Maritime
Services) a standard format for Differential GNSS
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.
RTK see Real-time kinematic.
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.
S/A see Selective Availability.
