MOBILE REFERENCE STATION FOR PRODUCTION OF CORRECTION SIGNALS FOR A DIFFERENTIAL POSITION-FINDING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A mobile reference station for production of correction signals for a differential position-finding device, comprising:
- a position-finding signal receiver for reception of signals from satellites in a position-finding system;
an electronic processor, which is connected by a transmission unit to a radio antenna and is designed to receive position signals from the position-finding signal receiver and to derive correction data from these position signals, which correction data can be modulated by the transmission unit onto radio frequencies and can be transmitted via the radio antenna; and
the processor further connected to an inertial sensor that can be operated to use signals from the inertial sensor to calculate a variable which is dependent on any position change of the reference station and to produce an error signal when this exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile reference station for production of correction signals for a differential position-finding device. The system utilizes a position-finding signal receiver for reception of signals from satellites in a position-finding system, an electronic processor, which is connected by a transmission unit to a radio antenna and is designed to receive position signals from the position-finding signal receiver and to derive correction data from these position signals. The correction data can be modulated by the transmission unit onto radio frequencies and can be transmitted via the radio antenna.
The processor is connected to an inertial sensor and can be operated to use signals from the inertial sensor to calculate any position change of the reference station, and to produce an error signal when the calculated magnitude of the position change exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
