Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A surveyor needs to determine a plot's boundaries but only has access to a single-frequency receiver. Discuss the potential issues that may arise due to ionospheric errors and propose a solution.

💡 Hint: Consider how the error types affect long-distance determination.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how the phase measurements in carrier phase receivers provide advantages for relative positioning over longer distances compared to code-based methods.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the accuracy needed for longer distances in surveying.
