Simulation system aids GPS testing

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 25, 2008

The Spirent GSS8000 simulation system supports processing rates as low as 4ms with pseudorange accuracy of 1mm.

Spirent Communications has released the Spirent GSS8000 simulation system, a signal generator unit for GPS, Galileo and Glonass testing.

The Spirent GSS8000 tests advanced satellite navigation technologies and offers increased flexibility and improved signal fidelity.

This new solution supports processing rates as low as 4ms with pseudorange accuracy at 1mm for many scenarios.

The Spirent GSS8000 design allows for a wide variety of configurations from GPS L1 right up to multiRF output and/or multiconstellation test systems.

Simulation of GPS, Galileo and Glonass signals provides the best way of testing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, systems and application performance.

Only laboratory simulation can ensure repeatable testing that explores both nominal and off-design conditions.

By following a structured test approach, users can test multiGNSS receivers, systems and applications, resulting in shorter development times and improved performance.
