Multi-GNSS Constellation Simulators & Signal Generators

Capability OverviewCompany Articles Documents Locations

Spirent is a leading provider of simulation and test solutions for GPS/GNSS satellite-based navigation and positioning in unmanned systems. Our products will help you overcome the challenges of developing autonomous unmanned vehicles, such as self-knowledge of position and attitude, safe and accurate navigation, and recovery from signal loss, as well as operation in harsh environments.

Incorporating our test and simulation solutions into your unmanned systems development will provide you with many advantages over using “live-sky” signals, including full control over test signals and parameters, repeatability, and simulation of signals from future constellations.

GSS7000 Multi-GNSS Constellation Simulator System

The GSS7000 Multi-GNSS Constellation Simulator is an entry-level test tool that allows you to verify the positioning performance of your unmanned vehicles under controlled, repeatable conditions. The accurate, powerful system allows simultaneous GNSS signals (supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS) across a wide range of frequencies, enabling you to develop a test regime that provides maximum rigour with minimum time and cost.

Features

Supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS and SBAS L1/E1/B1, L2/B2 and L5/E5 signals
Up to 256 channels per system, flexibly allocated across constellations
Selection of scenario generation and simulation control software available
Single RF version, or dual RF version for differential-GNSS and multi-vehicle simulation
Availability of Single Channel Utility for cost-effective production line quality testing.

SimGEN Scenario Generation and Simulator Control Software

SimGEN allows a scenario to be saved for use in SimREPLAYplus

GSS9000 GNSS Constellation Simulator

The GSS9000 GNSS Constellation Simulator is our most advanced test solution, providing the sophisticated and accurate testing required for the precise positioning, navigation and timing systems of unmanned vehicles in military, aerospace and research applications. The GNSS9000 supports all signals and frequencies from all GNSS constellations, both present and under development, including regional augmentation systems and classified/restricted signals.

With support for multiple signal combinations, multi-antenna and multi-vehicle systems, and interference, jamming and spoofing tests, the GNSS9000 meets every conceivable testing need for unmanned vehicle GNSS technology.

Features

Generates all carriers, ranging codes and data streams for the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou GNSS systems, plus SBAS, QZSS, IRNSS and CAPS regional/augmentation systems
1000Hz Simulation Iteration Rate (SIR) and Hardware Update Rate (HUR), enabling real-time remote control and trajectory delivery
160 channels plus 640 embedded multipath channels across 10 independent frequencies
Single RF version, or dual RF version for differential-GNSS and multi-vehicle simulation
On-the-fly re-configuration of constellation and signal configurations
Selection of simulation, modelling and testing software available
