This case study examines the behaviour of a rover operating in RTK mode in an open-field environment influenced by an active disturber. It analyzes the quality of the results from geodetic measurements and provides conclusions and recommendations based on the satellites’ status and calculated results.

Summary
RTK mode is a way of using GNSS for precise measurements. Radio signals can interfere with this. This study looks at how a rover works in RTK mode when there is an active disturber. It also assesses the quality of the results from these measurements.
Radio signals and GNSS
Radio signals from various sources can interfere with GNSS signals. This interference can cause problems with geodetic measurements. Some sources of interference are listed. Errors in satellite measurements come from several sources, such as clock synchronization and atmospheric refraction. Geodetic measurements should avoid radio sources to maintain quality. However, active disturbers can be hard to detect in advance.
RTK measurements with interference
During RTK measurements, several issues were noticed. The receiver acquired satellites more slowly than usual. The number of used satellites was unstable. Fewer satellites were visible than expected. Many satellites were discarded during the measurements.
Quality assessment criteria
This study used several criteria to assess the quality of measured points. These include diagonal elements of the co-variance matrix, position quality, height quality, and overall 3D quality. These criteria help to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the measurements. The values of these criteria are listed in a table, along with the overall rating of each measured point.
Results and analysis
The results show variations in accuracy for certain points. Despite the open-field environment, there was a degradation of accuracy up to 24 mm. The M3D quality criterion alone was not sufficient for complete accuracy control. More criteria should be considered for thorough analysis. The region under study had previously been affected by strong interference, but measurements are now possible due to GNSS modernization.
