  • System and method for monitoring and surveying movements of the terrain, large infrastructures and civil building works in general, based upon the signals transmitted by the GPS navigation satellite system
    Patent number: 7642956
    Abstract: A measurement system for applications of monitoring and surveying based upon the signals transmitted by a GPS system includes a plurality of measurement stations equipped with at least one GPS receiver, one or more base stations for reception and processing of the measurements made by the plurality of measurement stations, and a network of communication between the stations. The GPS receiver is a receiver that works on a single carrier. The measurement stations are split into triangular sub-networks in which each vertex of a triangle contains a station. The base station is configured for calculating lengths of the baselines that join the measurement stations by means of the double differences, and the base station is configured for executing calculation of the solution in real time.
