Testing with a GSG-5&6 Series Simulator

Time to First Fix (TTFF) How fast the GPS receiver can get a position fix Common test done using GPS simulators The receivers store the almanac and ephemeris data to aid in obtaining a 3D fix as quickly as possible

Leap Second this June!

1 st mid-year adjustment in 16 years!

Leap Second Testing GSG can add or subtract a leap second Can occur on June 30 at midnight or Dec 31 at midnight only A test scenario should allow for enough time for the receiver to get the almanac 5 Confidential

Testing with a GSG-5&6 Series Simulator

Sensitivity Testing Acquisition Sensitivity Check the signal level required to gain a signal Live GPS signal level is variable and not easily measured for accurate testing Tracking Sensitivity Check the signal level required to maintain its position fix Simulation provides the ability to determine which satellites vary in signal and when 6 Confidential

White Noise Generator Maintain a known SNR value receiver to receiver or through a splitter Ability to set the SNR value SBAS Capability Allows up to 3 satellites to be generated at a time Multipath Generator 4 built-in multipath scenarios Multipath editor on front panel Confidential

Testing with a GSG-5&6 Series Simulator

Location Test the receiver in other parts of the world Live GPS only provides current location, you must travel or send the receiver to test in other parts of the world Important to test different hemispheres Stationary Position Accuracy Test accuracy at different UTC times Accuracies change with different geometries 8 Confidential

Testing with a GSG-5&6 Series Simulator

Trajectories Travel at high speeds Make turns not easily available Airplane/Missile trajectories cannot be tested with live GPS unless actually flown Create routes for reproducible tests Timing Receiver Testing Compare the 1-PPS the receiver to the 1-PPS on the GSG Verify the receiver timing accuracy Impossible to do with live GPS without expensive additional equipment Confidential
