The GSS7790 multi-output, multi-channel simulation system from Spirent supports testing of adaptive antenna arrays and testing with the antenna in the loop. Applications include controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) development, characterization and optimization.
The GSS7790 is a full constellation simulator, offering total user control over the satellite orbital definitions with respect to the user-specified simulated location, date and time. The signal generator’s digital architecture enhances Spirent’s leading accuracy and reliability with exceptional fidelity and resolution across a wider range of test applications.
GSS7790 has multi-output signal simulation but offers independent access to each simulated GPS satellite signal in view at radio frequency (RF).
These signals may either be radiated into an anechoic chamber for Controlled Radiation Pattern (CRPA) testing, or may be manipulated by an external phase shifting matrix to test the anti-jam performance of the receiver. Additional flexibility is offered as the signal is further split into its GPS L1, L2 and L5 components, as appropriate.
With world leading accuracy, fidelity and reliability the GSS7790 is the multi-output, multi-channel simulation system of choice.
Spirent’s uniquely powerful GSS7790 provides users with a number of benefits making it the leading advanced multi-output, multi-channel simulation system. Benefits include:
Flexibility
- Complete flexibility over test scenarios using comprehensive SimGEN for Windows® software
Multiple Applications
- The GSS7790 recreates a simulated live environment for testing entire CRPA systems including the antenna element itself through Installation inside anechoic chamber and attachment to multiple transmitting antennas
- GSS7790 is integrated with multi-element phase shift or delay matrix to produce RF wavefront at multiple simulated antenna elements allowing CRPA control unit testing
- Radiated testing, is possible by environment emulation using reflectors and signal attenuators to test actual antenna performance in an anechoic chamber
Adaptable
- Indoor GPS emulation
