GPS Integrated into Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing
The capability of "real-time trajectories" is critical for tight coupling of GPS/GNSS RF generation into any integrated simulation test system that includes position-awareness. Spectracom's GSG series GNSS simulators can be configured to accept fixed latency streaming of 6 degrees-of-freedom trajectory information via position, velocity, acceleration, or heading commands. The simulator generates GPS/GNSS radio signals corresponding to those dynamic conditions to fully test the "hardware-in-the-loop".
Real-time trajectories allow for the complete characterization of the system's ability to successfully achieve and maintain all position and navigation information under any condition.
