Introduction
The LabSat is a dedicated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
signal simulator with RF record and playback facilities, enabling real world
GPS & Galileo testing to take place in the laboratory. The LabSat is small
and rugged, allowing it to be used in the field to continuously record the
RF GPS/Galileo signal in a digital form which can then be replayed at a
later date.
LabSat is ideal for almost any kind of GPS development, e.g. GPS
engines; GPS enabled Smartphones, Portable Navigation Devices, GPS
tracking systems and much more. It is also very well suited to production
line testing as it can represent a real world test as well as a carefully
simulated scenario.
To cover all testing requirements, replay scenarios can also be generated
directly using the Racelogic SatGen software. LabSat works with the L1
(1575.42MHz) signal and has no limit to the number of satellites that can
be logged. Galileo L1 Signal can be recorded and replayed.
Ability to replay data allows repeatable testing of GNSS
receiver capabilities such as:
- Sensitivity – Tracking and Acquisition
- Time To First Fix (TTFF) – Cold, Warm and Hot Start
- Position Accuracy and Repeatability
- Tracking Accuracy and Repeatability
- Reacquisition Time
Real world GNSS effects can be seen in test scenarios
- Multipath
- Drop-outs
- Tree coverage
- Adverse Terrain Effects
- Atmospheric effect
