SimXTRACT

SimXTRACT bridges the gap between the field and the lab, turning real-world recorded data into controllable, repeatable simulations.

OVERVIEW

Redefine PNT testing with real-world insight

SimXTRACT is a groundbreaking GNSS test tool that transforms how you develop, test, and debug PNT-enabled systems. By decomposing real-world GNSS IQ recordings into precise signal components, SimXTRACT™ bridges the gap between field and lab, letting you recreate realistic signal environments in a simulator—bringing unprecedented knowledge, realism, repeatability, and control to your test workflows.

Unprecedented realism in the lab

SimXTRACT performs signal decomposition on scenarios captured on record & playback devices, breaking down each received signal into discrete ray paths (line-of-sight and multipath) with metadata such as doppler offset, power level, and angle of arrival (AoA). This decomposed environment is then converted into fully controllable simulation scenarios for Spirent simulators, reducing time spent in the field, cutting the cost and complexity of scenario capture and generation, and enabling repeatable, high-fidelity testing.

How to choose a GNSS simulator
Find the GNSS simulator that's right for you. It’s widely accepted that simulation is the primary tool for testing GNSS enabled equipment. However, selecting the right simulator is not simple. The first port of call should be to check the feature list – does the simulator offer the functionality you require? After this, though, you will need to establish whether the simulator performs as expected. Failure to do so could have catastrophic consequences for your product, and even your business.

Reproducing infinity in the lab
GNSS record & playback systems (RPS) have become essential in professional GNSS testbeds, enabling developers to bring the infinite circumstances of the real-world signal environment into the lab. This offers advantages over live signal field testing including better control, repeatability, cost-effectiveness, and faster time to market. While not a complete substitute for simulation or field testing, RPS provides a combination of realism and repeatability ideal for verification. From simple beginnings, the technology has evolved significantly to meet the demands of emerging use cases:
