GNSS Simulator Compatible with IRNSS and QZSS
Spectracom’s GPSGlobal Positioning System is a navigation satellite system. See also/GNSS simulator is now available for testing receivers’ compatibility with India’s global navigation satellite system, IRNSSIRNSS is the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System. Similar to the concept of GNSS - or Global Navigation Satellite System, the IRNSS is a group of satellites that provides location services for a smaller region of the world, around India and 930 miles outside of India., and Japan’s regional satellite system, QZSSQZSS is a regional satellite system in the Asia/Pacific Region. Developed and maintained by the Japanese government, this satellite constellation provides similar services as GPS: location, navigation and timing.. What’s more, Spectracom’s GSG-6 Series multi-frequency GNSSGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS): A general term describing any satellite constellation that provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis. See also signal simulator is designed to be field upgradeable to simulate all current and future GNSS constellations so current customers can benefit from these features without the need for a factory return in most cases. Spectracom Global Sales and Marketing VP, Mr. Rohit Braggs said, “Spectracom understands the need for system developers and integrators to be compatible with various GNSS systems. Support for multiple constellations is a requirement in many markets and additional satellites add signal diversity for improved reliability. Our easy-to-use, compact and affordable GNSS simulator can now be configured with IRNSS and QZSS capability in addition to the big four; GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo. Our customers can buy what they need now and easily upgrade in the future, often times without a hardware upgrade.”
In anticipation of the deployment of new GNSS systems, Spectracom ensures that every GSGA GNSS Signal Generator is a device that is able to create simulated satellite signals and generate real RF signals by first producing I/Q data and calculating the orbits of satellites at a user-defined time, location and trajectory. series simulator that leaves the factory is tested for compliance with all L-band signal frequency and modulation specifications as defined in their ICDs.
The Series 6 multi-frequency simulator is fully capable of all four bands of any system: L1 / E1 / B1; L2 / L2C; L5 / E5 / B2; and E6 / B3. Mr. Braggs added, “As we have seen with our recent roll-out of Beidou and Galileo signal compatibility, when the need for new signals arise, we will offer those capabilities with a simple upgrade path. This ensures our customer’s investment is always protected.”
