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 and/or BeiDou-2 with GPS for consumer GNSS, where most developers already have projects underway.
SPIRENT'S VALUE FOR CHIPSET AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Spirent is supporting chipset and technology developers by continually innovating and investing in new simulation technology through:
