A GNSS simulator is device that outputs RF signals to allow technicians to run various tests on satellites and to determine if the GPS capabilities are up to par.
What is a GNSS Simulator?
With the capability to test satellite navigation receivers, dynamic conditions, satellite accuracy, and more, a GNSS simulator is vital to the infrastructure of modern society. GNSS simulators allow operators to maintain global satellite navigation systems and detect GPS related inaccuracies. GNSS simulators are also used in tandem with GNSS receivers .
Why Are GNSS Simulators Important?
Most of the modern world uses some form of global navigation. Whether it is relevant to a vehicle’s GPS system or related to NASA's work in space, the importance of testing these systems is clear. GNSS simulators allow for testing and maintaining the global navigation within society.
Who Uses A GNSS Simulator?
- Aviation Personnel
- The Automotive Industry
- The Military
- People Working In Agriculture
- NASA
- Scientist Studying Weather
- Other Industries That Rely On Satellite Navigation
How Does A GNSS Simulator Work?
GNSS simulators use RF signals to determine and test navigation related devices. The device outputs the same signal type as the satellites they are working with, and certain variables can be changed and tested with a GNSS simulator. Using this technology, technicians can determine the efficiency and the accuracy of the test subject.
