- Abstract
The global navigation satellite systems, especially the GPS, well known and totally implemented, have been intensively used in agriculture. The performance of receivers, however, is not properly disseminated among the users, so the aim of this work is to evaluate receivers with distinct configurations and the use of differential corrections through static and cinematic tests. In the first case eight receivers were tested activating or not the differential corrections WAAS and EGNOS, besides specific augmentation signals for some of the receivers and filtering intensities available for some of the receivers. In the cinematic condition two navigation receivers were mounted on the top of a tractor cab and tested using a GPS RTK receiver as reference. In the first evaluation the results showed that WAAS and EGNOS corrections do not add quality to the positioning in the Piracicaba, SP region. The private differential corrections by satellite were more accurate than the other systems tested. The test under cinematic condition, using a GPS RTK receiver as reference allowed the easy computation of the errors in the perpendicular of travel direction.
