Spirent Communications has launched an enhanced GNSS constellation simulator that provides significantly-improved capability, flexibility, and performance than other solutions. The GSS9000 Series has been updated to meet the ever-more-demanding test needs of high-performance satellite navigation systems.
Spirent already leads the market in multi-frequency, multi-GNSS RF constellation simulators, and the enhanced GSS9000 Series’ enriched features and capabilities raise the bar for GNSS development and test still further.
The GSS9000 Series doubles the number of supported channels (320 in a single chassis) while maintaining its full performance specification, including in key areas such as signal iteration rate and low latency, under maximum signal dynamics. These attributes, together with the ability to produce a comprehensive range of emulated multi-GNSS, multi-frequency RF signals, enables full and future-proofed testing of advanced applications.
Greater signal flexibility is also built into the enhanced GSS9000 Series, through its open API and flexible system architecture. This delivers a highly-sophisticated arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) capability. It also provides unrivaled coverage and support for all current Signal-in-Space Interface Control Documents (SIS ICDs), with even greater flexibility for both system and signal evolutions. This includes built-in and user-defined parameter controls for the generation of non-current SIS ICD PRN codes, navigation data content, navigation data rate, chipping rate, edge shaping, and modulation types.
The enhanced GSS9000 Series also features sophisticated spoofing test capabilities, with full parametric control of multi-copy constellations, and trajectory spoofing/meaconing. Precise phase-aligned signal wavefront generation and multi-antenna/output capability is supported, creating the most capable anti-jam and anti-spoof test system available anywhere.
This new solution will be officially unveiled at ION GNSS+ 2019 in Miami, Florida (September 16 – 20). For more information about the GSS9000 Series, click here.
