Michael A. Cardoza, Mark P. Leach and April C. Tucker

Abstract:	Applied Research J>aboratorics, The Ilniversiry of Texas al Austin (hRl,:1JT), has developed a fieldable realtitne surveying (R’JS) sysletn capable of cm level @Coning. The system utilizes cotntnercial off-tiie-shelf hardware and an ARL:UT itnplemcntadon of atnbiguily resolution. Although the systetn can be adapted lo multiple applicalions, this particular systctn is designed to determine the location of high frequency (IF) antenna array eletnen& for precise field strength calibrations. This paper reviews the RTS system desigtt and developmcnr, wilh emphasis on the obstacles which were overcome in developing a ficldablc prototype system. III addition, field test results are presented which indicate a 95% systetn availability and 100% system success rate.
