Calibration of Three European TWSTFT Stations Using a Portable Station and Comparison of TWSTFT and GPS Common-View Measurement Results

Abstract

After a brief introduction and description of the portable station and a discussion of different approaches to use it for station calibration, the calibration trip is described and the results are presented. The calibrated TWSTFT measurements are compared with the GPS measurements calibrated by a GPS receiver trip carried out at the same time as the TWSTFT calibration and by previous GPS receiver trips. The findings are discussed and some envisaged activities using the portable station are mentioned.
