Multi-GNSS constellation simulator

8 August 2012 Test & Measurement

Spectracom announced its new L1+L2, 32-channel multi-GNSS simulator, the GSG-62. The instrument offers multiple frequency band operation, multiple GNSS constellation simulation, and expansion capability for more frequency bands and channels.

The GSG-62 is ideal for manufacturing and development test with its ability to simulate all the visible satellites for the receiver under test. With 16 channels for L1 frequency and 16 channels for L2 frequency, channels can be assigned to GPS or GLONASS, P-code or C/A code. Channels may also be used for SBAS simulation of EGNOS, WAAS, GAGAN or MSAS satellites, or for multipath and interference signals.

The GSG-62 includes compatibility with GSG StudioView PC software for easy creation and editing of simulation scenarios via Google Maps.
