New GNSS Simulator Capabilities

• Rating12345

Spectracom, a company of the Orolia Group introduced new capabilities for its GSG line of GPS / GNSS constellation simulators. These features reinforce Spectracom’s leadership position for flexible, user-friendly and affordable characterization and test of GPS and GNSS devices and systems. Key features include :

• GLONASS+GPS capability: the first in a line of GNSS simulators to simultaneously reproduce multiple GNSS signals, in accurate synchronization, for testing the latest multi-constellation receivers.
• The introduction of GSG StudioView™ PC software to provide easy creation and editing of simulation scenarios including a Google Maps-based trajectory builder.
• The ability to support very high velocity and acceleration simulations for aerospace applications.
• A web browser interface for easy remote control and monitoring of the simulator.

Designed with Development and Test Engineers in mind, the GSG-54 8-channel simulator and GSG-55 16-channel simulator supports quick and efficient qualification of designs and performance under virtually any condition unlike live sky or record and replay solutions. Together with the simplicity, portability and repeatability, users can run more tests, and extend the test set-up into manufacturing and final test environments.

According to Spectracom chief technical officer, John Fischer, “As the integration of GPS receivers continue to proliferate in a wide range of devices, engineers need efficient and practical solutions to qualify the robustness of their designs and final assembled products. We understand the importance value plays in GPS and GNSS test solutions and are excited to introduce the ability to readily test complex scenarios at a price under $20K.” Read More
