GPS receivers can now be found in everything from land vehicles and aircraft to cell phones and everyday objects leveraging the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT). Advanced GPS signal simulators from VIAVI are a compact, user-friendly, and easily upgradable option for validating the performance of GPS-enabled devices.

VIAVI has leveraged decades of industry experience to deliver comprehensive and affordable test, validation, and maintenance solutions for GPS/Galileo-enabled devices. The versatility of the GPSG-1000 portable satellite simulator brings precision and convenience to test processes ranging from aerospace and avionics maintenance to consumer devices and application development.

Industry-leading features include simultaneous 12-channel simulation across multiple global GNSS/SBAS standards and dynamic 3D position simulation with multi-leg waypoint entry schemes to recreate aircraft flight characteristics. Advanced record and replay capabilities bring live GNSS signals to the lab to facilitate real-world prototype testing.

The configurable GPSG-1000 is a truly portable, easy-to-use GPS and Galileo positional simulator. It fills a gap in the market by providing a low-cost 12 channel test set that creates three-dimensional simulations. This new simulator is also designed to be software upgradable. Versatile time-saving portable test set for GPS/GALILEO receivers including WAAS/EGNOS SBAS simulation

System - Simulated 3D position may be user entered in latitude/longitude/height format or 3D position may be dynamically simulated utilizing a multi-leg waypoint entry scheme. An unlimited number of navigation plans may be saved and recalled under a user assigned name. A built-in GPS receiver allows positional simulation in the form of a range, heading and altitude based on current test set position.

Satellite Vehicle (SV) Selection - All GPSG-1000 configurations allow GPS and Galileo satellites to be mixed. (The Galileo codes may be updated via a text file upload.)

Waypoints - Waypoint legs join up in 3D space, with either range rate or altitude-rate being auto calculated. Trajectory changes are calculated to simulate real world navigation, i.e. waypoint leg heading changes utilize realistic rates of turn; altitude changes utilize realistic rates of descent or climb. Way points may be entered in LAT/LONG form or automatically recalled from an airport or city database.

SBAS - SBAS satellites WAAS/EGNOS may be manually selected or automatically based on simulated position.

Setup - The setup page allows system, user and RF connection parameters to be set by the user.
