How can GNSS Testing Help? Real Customer Examples

GNSS Simulator Assists Galileo; Orbit Correction Example 1: How GNSS testing can help? Identify Problem: Aug 22, 2014: Two Galileo satellites fail to reach correct orbit due to hardware design failure in rocket fuel line. Test Solution: Spirent’s engineers generated a special service release for ESA of our PosAp software. This enabled ESA engineers to simulate different candidate orbits, to simulate the different outcomes Problem Resolution: “We iterated with Spirent to get the patch we needed in order to simulate GSAT 0201/0202. The patch provided by Spirent was instrumental for the Scenario C assessment (this including GSAT 0201 In orbit Testing preparation).” Marco Falcone, Galileo Programme Lead, ESA, Jan 2015

Robust PNT Audit Quantifies Impact of Scintillation and Space Weather Example 2: How GNSS testing can help? Identify Problem: Communications broadcasts for a national network were being affected by GPS clock drop-outs The company was unsure what was causing the drop-outs, and how to solve the problem Test Solution: Robust PNT test pack including interference and space weather scenarios Test report provided that identified behavior of the hold-over to back-up clock during GPS distruption Problem Resolution: GPS hold-over was not reverting cleanly to GPS after outage Firmware update solved the issue Now recommending re-testing against updated tests with new events

Aerospace Application Example 3: How can GNSS testing help Identify Problem: How to test GNSS performance during different phases of launch Test Solution: Simulation with changing obscurations, in real-time, in GNSS simulator (GSS7000/9000) SimGEN software allows different antenna patterns for different phases of launch Atmospheric modelling changes through different phases of flight Problem Resolution: End-to-end mission scenarios modelled in the lab, using real receiver hardware with simulated antenna placement and environmental effects Reduced costs and improved mission confidence
