Speed check: performance monitoring with RTK GPS

The Fourier analysis of the canoe's altitude presents a second frequency of a value of 1.53 Hz (0.65 s), which is approximately twice that obtained through paddle strokes. This phenomenon is possibly due to the differing installation of the GPS antennas on the boats (see earlier photo). On the...

Description
Summary:The Fourier analysis of the canoe's altitude presents a second frequency of a value of 1.53 Hz (0.65 s), which is approximately twice that obtained through paddle strokes. This phenomenon is possibly due to the differing installation of the GPS antennas on the boats (see earlier photo). On the canoe, a 72-centimeter mast supported the GPS antenna. With the kayak, the antenna could be secured directly to the boat, in the opening that provides access to the rudder.
