GNSS Testing for LEO

You need to know how your GNSS enabled device will perform in the real world. But testing in the real world is not feasible due to time and cost constraints. Testing that combines the greatest possible level of realism with the control needed for scientific analysis gives you the power to release better products faster – assuring happy customers.

Every element of your test environment can have an impact on the realism of your testing, from the components used in your test equipment through to the software tools used to enhance the virtual environment. Learn the value in creating a realistic GNSS test environment in the comfort of your own lab. 
Download this eBook to discover:

- What is realism in lab-based GNSS testing?
- How to achieve maximum realism in the lab
- Four principles for realistic GNSS testing in the lab
- Considerations for realistic simulation
- Considerations for realistic RF record & playback

If you would like to collaborate with our experts to ensure realistic GNSS testing for your project, [contact us](https://www.spirent.com/contact).


Learn how to create a realistic GNSS test environment in the lab to identify issues with your GNSS receiver. This eBook discusses considerations for realistic GNSS simulation and realistic RF record & playback solutions.

Satellite broadband products and services are expected to generate over $200 billion in annual service revenue by 2030, serving more than 350 million direct satellite-to-device subscribers. New Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems will provide connectivity where none exists, supporting the underserved and remote use cases. This brings new challenges of complexity that must be tested.

__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.

This eBook unveils important performance characteristics to consider when choosing a GNSS simulator.

Delivering precision multi-frequency, multi-GNSS simulation

Astro Digital delivers an end-to-end service to CubeSat application developers, from concept through to deployment. However, the inability of their existing simulator generate trackable GNSS signals was slowing their development cycles and adding significant risk. Without strong GNSS positioning performance, deployed satellites could be totally incapacitated, leading to loss of revenue and reputation.

Spirent’s GSS7000 is powering current and future development at Astro Digital, enabling customers to succeed with strong GNSS positioning performance.
