Key facts

  • Emulation of instrument landing system (ILS)
  • Emulation of VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR)
  • Emulation of distance measuring equipment (DME)
  • Emulation of ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS)

Testing flight navigation receivers

Traditional ground-based flight navigation aids such as VOR, DME or ILS still play an important role in enroute navigation, precision approaches and landings. Landings can also be performed using satellite-based navigation in combination with differential corrections from local ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS). Onboard navigation receivers that use these technologies need to be tested under controlled and repeatable conditions. Rohde & Schwarz offers various solutions that generate signals for such navigation flight systems.

Features & benefits

Test like it's real

Avionics receiver testing under realistic conditions

Avionics test solutions from Rohde & Schwarz allow avionics receivers to be exposed to a realistic signal environment, i.e. to signal reception conditions that are very similar to those for a receiver onboard a plane. A combined GPS/GBAS simulation generates GBAS messages based on differential corrections consistent with the simulated GNSS errors. This enables advanced multimode receiver testing.

Feature set

  • Generation of ILS localizer signal
  • Generation of ILS glideslope signal

Terms & Conditions of the Prize Draw 10 years Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes

1. The prize draw “10 years Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes” (herein referred to as “Draw”) is organized by Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG, Mühldorfstraße 15, 81671 Munich, Germany, Tel. +49 89 41 29 0 (herein referred to as “R&S).

2. All participators can register to the draw during January 01, 2020 to December 31, 2020 with their name, company name and business e-mail.

3. Participation is free of charge and not dependent on the purchase of goods or services.

4. The draw is only open to legal entities and only the legal entities are able to win the prizes. An individual person is not allowed to participate on its own name and its own account but as a representative of a legal entity filing the participation form in the name of and on behalf of the legal entity.

5. The prizes to win are 1 of 10 R&S®RTB2000 within the time frame January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020:

Prize: 1x R&S®RTB2000 Digital Oscilloscope

6. The draw takes place at Rohde & Schwarz headquarters, Muehldorstrasse 15, 81671 Munich. The winner of the prizes will be informed by e-mail within 5 (5) working days.

7. The authorized representative of the legal entity shall inform Rohde & Schwarz about the acceptance of the price. In case of the denial of the acceptance, or no answer within two (2) weeks, a new winner will be drawn. If no winner can be determined within four (4) weeks, the draw ends and the prize forfeit.
