In order to perform deformation analyses and their comparison, two stages of measurement were performed using single-frequency as well as double-frequency measurement receivers. Experimental measurements were taken using the static method by permanent observation at selected observed and reference points of the deformation network. The geodetic network in both stages was processed using the Gauss-Markov model with full rank and using the least square method whilst observations were tested and the results of performed deformation analyses were graphically visualised using relative confidence ellipses on the basis of a positional and altitudinal plan. Key words: GNSS, GMM, deformation analysis, coordinate differences, measurement Introduction At present, geodesy is undergoing great progress and development which is bringing a considerable amount of the latest geodetic computer and display technology into geodetic practice. Terrestrial measurements implemented using relatively modern, universal measurement stations are gradually being replaced with measurements using Global Navigation Satellite Systems. Their gradual, more frequent use is accompanied by a number of benefits which they provide. It is possible to take a measurement without direct visibility between points, with a lower number of
