GPSG-1000 GPS/Galileo Portable Positional Simulator

(News del 06.04.2010)

Aeroflex today introduced the GPSG-1000, the
first truly portable GPS and Galileo positional simulator. The GPSG-1000 is lightweight,
easy to use, configurable, and inexpensive. It fills a gap in the market by providing a
low-cost 12-channel test set that creates three-dimensional simulations.
With the advent of GPS signal modernization, many GPS simulators on the
market today are now obsolete. The GPSG-1000 supports civil and military avionics
field and bench maintenance technicians, production test technicians, and system
integrators with a modern simulator for L1, C/A code and L1C, L2C, L5 GPS
modernization signals, as well as new Galileo E1, E5, E6 services. It can be configured
with single channel, 6-channel, or 12-channel simulation. Typical tests include
acquisition sensitivity, tracking sensitivity, time-to-first-fix for cold/warm/hot starts, timeto-
second-fix, positional accuracy, RAIM failure tolerance, and subsystem stimulation
for 3D flight execution.
About the GPSG-1000 GPS/Galileo Portable Positional Simulator
The Aeroflex GPSG-1000 uses modular technology for RF and baseband signal
generation to produce highly accurate and repeatable test results. Unlike bench top

simulators, Aeroflex’s approach also allows the test system to be easily upgraded at low
cost.
Some of the many features of the GPSG-1000 include:
- Simulation of GPS L1C, L2C, L5 signals, supporting the modernization of signals
used by the latest designs of GPS receivers;
- Simulation of Galileo E1, E5, E6 signals to support unencrypted services;
- SBAS, WAAS/EGNOS L1, L5 for automatic SBAS simulation;
- Built-in GPS C/A code receiver for automatic GPS almanac download;
- Waypoint navigation, a 3D navigation scheme that allows airport-to-airport flight
plan simulation;
- Programmable satellite parameters allow specific tests to be conducted to
determine receiver behavior under degraded or invalid signal conditions;
- Dynamic satellite signal simulation for real world constellation signal
conditions.
Availability
The GPSG-1000 Portable Positional Simulator is available in single channel, 6-
channel, and 12-channel configurations.
