The options for GLONASS
(R&S®SMBV-K94) and GPS P code (R&S®SMBV-K93) have been launched for
GNSS chipset and module manufacturers as well as for mobile radio, car radio
and automotive and avionics equipment manufacturers.
Rohde & Schwarz has launched two important extensions to the global navigation satellite system (GNSSsimulator
in the R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator), making it more versatile and
opening up additional applications: R&S®SMBV-K94 for Russia’s new GLONASS system,
and R&S®SMBV-K93 for the P code used by the US military as
an extension for the R&S®SMBV-K44 GPS option.
Customers will benefit from the easy and cost-effective upgrade
from a GPS-only GNSS simulator to a GLONASS and hybrid GPS/GLONASS solution,
since no additional hardware is required. In addition,
Rohde & Schwarz can present the first P code solution on the market
in a cost-sensitive platform such as the R&S®SMBV100A vector signal
generator, making it the right solution for production test applications
requiring P code.
The options offer the following new GNSS enhancements for the
R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator:
GLONASS (R&S®SMBV-K94 option)
·
Simulation of GLONASS satellites (FDMA) with civilian codes at
frequencies L1 as well as L2
·
Static mode and localization mode
·
User-definable almanac file (.agl) with real navigation data
·
User-definable location and start time
·
Automatic setup of GLONASS scenario with optimum satellite
constellation
·
Unlimited simulation time with automatic, on-the-fly exchange of
satellites based on configurable elevation masks
·
Dynamic power control of individual satellites in realtime
·
Hybrid GNSS satellite constellations with up to six satellites (if
the R&S®SMBV-K44 GPS option and/or the R&S®SMBV-K66 Galileo option are
additionally installed) and up to 12 satellites (with R&S®SMBV-K91)
GPS P code (R&S®SMBV-K93 option)
·
Simulation of up to six GPS satellites with P code only or
combined civilian C/A and P codes; together with R&S®SMBV-K91, 8 to 12
satellites can be configured depending on the codes used. Hybrid configurations
are also possible if the respective options are installed
