Simulator unites GPS and Galileo
Simulation system allows the testing of advanced multisystem GNSS receivers by supporting the free-to-use signals from both GPS and Galileo systems.
The navigation aspects of the Anastasia project focus on performance evaluations in a multiconstellation, multifrequency complex satellite signal environment.
The GPS/Galileo test systems provided by Spirent will be integrated with digital processing components provided by DLR.
The resulting wave front simulators will be capable of testing multiple-element, phased-array reception antennas that form part of DLR's research work.
A further extension of DLR's digital wavefront matrix to a full digital channel matrix, which allows wavefront generation combined with advanced simulation of multipath propagation is planned.
"Spirent is very pleased to be furthering our relationship with DLR on this important project".
"The Galileo simulation capabilities Spirent is providing to DLR add to an existing GPS test system that we provided in 2004", commented Peter Boulton, Technology Director for Spirent's Positioning business segment.
"This agreement marks the inclusion of an additional Galileo system to meet the requirement outlined by DLR for the Anastasia project".
