HEADING AND RELATIVE
POSITIONING SOLUTION
NovAtel’s ALIGN technology combines two or more receivers to generate precise
positioning and heading for dynamic applications. ALIGN uses GPS, GLONASS and
BeiDou to provide the best solution accuracy and availability for your application even
in harsh environments. You get the accuracy you need from synchronized solutions
with output rates up to 20 Hz.
ALIGN IS AVAILABLE IN TWO MODELS
ALIGN Heading™: Generates high precision heading and pitch angles between two
receivers for real-time navigation.
ALIGN Accuracy
0.5 m Baseline 1 m Baseline 2 m Baseline
DUAL FREQUENCY -
FIXED HEADING ACCURACY
0.40 degrees 0.20 degrees 0.10 degrees
ALIGN Relative Positioning™ : Generates high accuracy heading, pitch, relative
separation and positioning between two or more receivers for high precision
monitoring and automation.
Plug-and-play functionality can quickly and easily create an ALIGN system that
communicates through a wireless or cable link. You can also create a network of
multiple ALIGN receivers that all have spatial awareness of each other.

ALIGN USE CASES
Heading Use Case: Fixed Antenna Distance between Master and Rover Receivers
on One Platform
Figure 1
Figure 1 illustrates Master and Rover receivers located on the same vehicle and two
antennas installed at a fixed distance from one another. Relative heading and pitch are
computed with respect to the Master receiver.
Relative Positioning Use Case: Master and Rover Receivers on Separate
Moving Platforms
Figure 2
Figure 2 illustrates the Master receiver located on a combine harvester and the Rover
receiver located on a truck. Relative heading, pitch, baseline length and Rover positions are
computed with respect to the Master receiver.
