GNSS R&D TESTING SOLUTIONS
Spirent provides benchmark systems for GNSS R&D testing. Spirent test platform provide an accurate, flexible and repeatable GNSS simulation environment, allowing user to validate R&D work and to undertake precise performance testing and characterisation. GNSS simulation accelerates time-to-market and decreases cost through reduced project timescales, especially when compared to field testing.
Benifits
- Reduced uncertainty of results
- Improved confidence and understanding
- Confirmation of performance
- Significantly reduced time to test therefore time to manufacture
- Reduced costs through reduced project timescales
- Portability of GNSS scenarios from R&D downstream to production
- GNSS simulation certainty versus live sky testing uncertainty
GNSS INTEGRATION TESTING SOLUTIONS
GNSS simulation is the most powerful test method for GNSS receivers and applications. Spirent’s GNSS simulation platforms enable customer to repeat test scenarios exactly, allowing customer to analyse and compare vendor performance.
Spirent's Multi-GNSS systems are designed to be flexible and scalable, to meet customer’s individual needs. Our unrivalled domain experience, gathered over a 25 year history in the industry, is incorporated into all our Multi-GNSS test platforms to ensure success.
Benifits
- Easy-to-use, powerful and accurate GNSS test systems to enable you to confidently select and integrate GNSS technology into your systems and applications.
- Repeatable, cost effective GNSS test solutions
- GNSS test solutions proven over 25 years provide validity and confidence
- A history of providing tried and tested test methodologies
- Portability of scenarios from Integration downstream to production
- Reduced costs through reduced project timescales
- GNSS Simulation assists speed of test development
GNSS VERIFICATION TESTING SOLUTIONS
Spirent GPS/GNSS verification and testing platforms offer control and accuracy, using re-playable scenarios. Importantly, the signals from the GNSS simulator are exact known quantities, which have in themselves been verified and certified right down to bit level. This is a very important requirement for any piece of test equipment which is to be used for verification and certification activities. By providing the ability to test different performance parameters of the system individually, the simulated GNSS environment will provide a much clearer insight into the true system performance. Multiple tests can be scripted and run automatically, with test cases and scenarios being portable between R&D, Integration and Verification environments as well as with customers
Benifits
- Spirent’s tried and trusted Verification-focused GNSS testing solutions help to ensure a smooth product transition from R&D through to the production stage, and so accelerate time-to-market.
- Performance assurance with consistency, control and accuracy
- Controlled and repeatable testing
- Ability to solve identified issues through a logical and progressive testing approach
- Economic benefit, in terms of both time and cost saving, creates improved profitability
- Improved Quality Assurance leads to a significant reduction in the cost of warranties
- Increased end product reliability generates improved customer satisfaction
- GNSS simulation enables regression testing of software and firmware releases
GNSS PRODUCTION TESTING SOLUTIONS
Spirent 'one box' GNSS testing solutions have been designed from the start with ease-of-use and cost efficiencies in mind. Easily configurable to reduce test time per device, they are also rack mountable, with an in-rack calibration capability which contributes to a decrease in line downtime and disruption. Many of our systems can be upgraded in the field, from a single constellation of GPS/SBAS, to two or three constellation systems which include GLONASS and/or Galileo. This is important as navigation and positioning technology is no longer just about GPS L1 C/A code. In future, most receivers will be Multi-GNSS and will require a Multi-GNSS testing solution.
Our platforms integrate with other Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems to offer consistency, control and accuracy throughout the testing process, to deliver performance assurance, continuity and reusability - whilst also solving real-world business issues, both economic and environmental.
Benifits
- Reliable, repeatable and consistent testing capability without the ambiguity that live sky presents ensures that good products are not failed and bad ones are not passed in error
- Comprehensive remote control interface for ATE integration and scripted tests
- Improved reliability and consistency of final product
- Reduced downtime is achieved through annual in-rack calibration procedures
- Quick, efficient testing, available 24/7, ensures that production line capacity is maximised, leading to additional cost savings
