What are the main issues facing GNSS developers and integrators?
Modernized GPS, Galileo and new GLONASS signals are all coming on line over the next few years. Augmentation systems such as EGNOS, WAAS and the soon to be GAGAN and QZSS systems add to the mix of signals and technologies available to those developing GNSS technology. At the same time, navigation and positioning applications are becoming more widespread, with end user demands increasing. A significant amount of research and development is currently underway by the technology and applications development community to respond to this expansion in capabilities.
Spirent, as an official provider of test systems to support the development and in-orbit validation of the Galileo project, understands the issues developers face. Spirent Galileo systems are interoperable with Spirent GPS, SBAS and GLONASS simulators, enabling a full multi-system, multi frequency test environment.
Spirent Solves Your Critical Test Challenges
The use of a GPS, Galileo, GLONASS or SBAS simulator enables controlled, repeatable performance testing at nominal and extreme or error state conditions. Only using an RF simulator is it possible to characterise fully, receiver performance in all conditions. By integrating a simulator with other equipment it is possible to realistically test and optimize application performance and experiment with new technology areas.
