Spectracom has introduced a new eight-channel GPS constellation simulator, the Pendulum GSG-54.

GPS 8-Channel simulator

Designed to provide a wide-range of capabilities for in-line production testing of devices integrating GPS receivers, according to the company, the simulator features ease-of-operation, fast test cycles, and versatility in supporting the integration of GPS receivers into devices under development. The unit’s bench-top chassis is designed to be compact, portable, and easy to set up.

The Pendulum GSG-54 simulates the satellite signals detected by a GPS receiver. Built-in standards-based test scenarios can be initiated or modified on the fly from the front panel interface. It also supports a variety of connectivity options to control and reconfigure test parameters.

The company says the GSG-54 GPS builds on the features of Spectracom’s GSG-L1 single-channel GPS signal generator and is designed to simulate eight different satellite signals to test position accuracy, sensitivity to loss of satellite signals, timing accuracy, and dynamic range. It can simulate movements and user trajectories, multipath scenarios, and various other atmospheric conditions.
