Base
Station
A GNSS receiver that supplies differential corrections
to receivers equipped with GNSS. Also called a base or
a reference station.
Baud Rate This is the speed of data transfer, measured in bits per
second.
Differential
GPS
A method that uses correction data from satellite
services or fixed reference stations to increase GPS
accuracy. The satellites or local reference stations send
correction data to vehicles equipped with GNSS
receivers.
Easting/
Northing
Eastings and Northings show the Universal Transverse
Mercator (UTM) position and zone of the vehicle. They
are measured in meters.
The grid numbers on the east-west (horizontal) axis are
called Eastings, and the grid numbers on the north-
south (vertical) axis are called Northings.
EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)
This is a European SBAS developed to supplement
GPS, GLONASS and Galileo systems by reporting on
the reliability and accuracy of the signals.
EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility is the science that
studies impact of electromagnetic interference. EMC
aims to ensure that equipment items or systems will not
interfere with each other or prevent correct operation
through emissions.
