The flexibility you need
We offer standard products, configurable products, and product platforms that can be adapted and integrated.
Modern navigation systems integrate multiple location-aware sensors to improve performance and reliability.
GPS RF simulators, like Spectracom’s GSG series, are able to test the integration of a GPS/GNSS receiver into the nav system by generating signals corresponding to virtually any condition including vehicle dynamics. Simultaneously, they can also generate signals for other types of sensors for a comprehensive system test of the navigation system.
As the simulator generates navigation satellite data for a given trajectory, it simultaneously calculates position and attitude data in six degrees of freedom in real-time; forward/backward, left/right and up/down as well as the rotations about three perpendicular axes, pitch, yaw, and roll. Th data corresponding to different types of sensors can be queried up to 10 Hz.
| Type | Description | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Accelerometer | Acceleration along the XYZ axes | g |
| Linear Accelerometer | Acceleration along the XYZ axes excluding the force of gravity | g |
| Gravimeter | Gravitational force to XYZ axis | g |
| Gyroscope | Angular speed around the X,Y, and Z axes | radians/sec |
| Odometer | Total distance traveled | meters |
| 3D Odometer | Total distance traveled in the X,Y, and Z axes | meters |
The Sensor Simulation Option works with any 16-channel or higher Spectracom GSG-5 or -6 series simulator.
Note: the sensor simulation option is included when purchasing the real-time scenario generator option (OPT-RSG).
