Bring satellites into your lab

GNSS simulators from the T&M expert

Your challenge

GNSS receiver tests can only be conclusive when they are performed under realistic conditions.

A complete GNSS simulation must therefore include proper simulation of the satellite orbits, the signal propagation characteristics, the characteristics of the receive antenna and the receiver environment. Realistic modeling of user movement taking into consideration vehicle attitude is also part of this simulation process. Generation of interfering signals may also be of interest to set up a simulation environment that is close to reality.

Our solutions

With GNSS test solutions from R&S, your GNSS simulations are as realistic as possible and can be performed under well-defined and controlled conditions. All GNSS scenarios are fully customizable and repeatable. R&S offers a variety of different GNSS test solutions:

R&S®WinIQSIM2™ Simulation Software

Many R&S signal generators can be used to play back GNSS waveforms. This approach can be used to set up a basic and cost-efficient single-channel test environment, which can be used in the early stages of GNSS receiver development.
