Polish DGPS system — architecture and installation: 1995
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Polish Naval Academy - Year 2015, Vol 202, Issue 3
Abstract
The idea of setting up the Polish DGPS system was originated by the Polish maritime administration in 1993 in the Polish Hydrographic Bureau in Gdynia. In December 1994 technical equipment and software for local monitoring by two reference stations was ordered, i.e. a central station together with communication software together with measuring and navigation receivers. In 1995 the equipment manufactured by the firm, Maggnavox arrived in Gdynia where it was installed, and commenced operating in conjunction with two radio beacons, one located in Rozewie and the second in Dziwnów. This is the third article in the series dedicated to the implementation of the DGPS system in the maritime regions of the Republic of Poland, and it presents the organizational, legal and technical aspects relating to the installation of the equipment. It contains, among other things, the hitherto unpublished results of the investigations concerned with geodesy-based determination of coordinates for the Rozewie and Dziwnów DGPS reference antennas in the ETRF ’89 coordinate system. It also discusses the influence of changes in the law in place at that time regarding the functioning and organization of the Polish DGPS system.
