TEST SOLUTIONS FOR GPS/GLONASS CHIPSET AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

GNSS chipset and technology developers are constantly striving to deliver improved performance whether it’s integrity, resilience or factors such as cost, footprint and power consumption. GNSS technology itself is facilitating this through the availability of more signals, with progressively more advanced modulation schemes and characteristics. This is further aided by the adoption of a wide range of augmentation options, from A GPS, A-GLONASS through Wi-Fi positioning to MEMS inertial sensors.

Spirent offers a wide range of Multi-GNSS and Wi-Fi Positioning simulators that cover the full spectrum of civilian and military GNSS testing needs. Spirent products range from single-channel simulators, suitable for simple production testing, through multi-channel, multi-constellation simulators, suitable for the most demanding research and engineering applications. An area of particular interest currently is the commercial adoption of GLONASS with GPS for consumer GNSS, where most developers already have projects underway.

SPIRENT'S VALUE FOR CHIPSET AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

ConsumerSpirent is supporting chipset and technology developers by continually innovating and investing in new simulation technology through:

  • A full range of systems supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS and Wi-FI
  • L1/E1 frequency or full multi-frequency systems, multi-GNSS systems
  • A range of options and extensions including inertial, interference, automotive sensor, Wi-Fi and GBAS simulation

Solutions

  • GSS8000The GSS8000 Multi-GNSS Simulator provides up to 3 constellations (GPS/SBAS, GLONASS and Galileo) in a single chassis. GPS configurations can also support QZSS.
  • GSS6700The GSS6700 Multi-GNSS Simulation System offers multiple channels of coherent GPS/SBAS, GLONASS and/or Galileo L1 signals from a single chassis.
  • GSS6400Spirent’s GSS6400 Record Replay System is a complete, standalone system, designed for gathering data in the field and replaying it with optimal fidelity and performance back in the lab.
  • GSS6300The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Signal Generator provides a single channel of GPS/SBAS, GLONASS and/or Galileo L1 signals for production testing on commercial GNSS receivers.
  • GSS5700A unique laboratory R&D test solution for Wi-Fi Positioning
  • SimPLEX45Scenario Generation Software for the STR4500 Constellation Simulator
  • SimAUTOIn-Vehicle Navigation System (IVNS) Software
  • TestDrive GNSSProvides SimGEN™, SimREPLAYplus and SimREPLAY customers with an integrated test solution that automates the testing process by configuring the instruments in the system, stepping through the test sequences, and processing and storing the results, removing much of the burden of manual test setup and configuration.
