Abstract
A system for vertical accuracy improvement includes a reference station, a rover, and a base station in communication with the reference station and the rover. The base station includes a GNSS antenna, an actuator coupled to the GNSS antenna, a wireless transceiver, a processor, and non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable by the processor. The instructions may be executed to cause the base station to receive a first vertical error from the reference station. The base station may further be configured to determine a second vertical position at which the first vertical error is reduced, and adjust the GNSS antenna to be in the second vertical position. The base station may further be configured to generate correction data based at least in part on the phase of the carrier wave signal at the second vertical position, and transmit the correction data to the rover.
