It also allows adding up to four continuous wave interference signals in the GPS, GLONASS or BeiDou bands to perform error injection tests.
With the enhanced N7609B software base option, users can now create waveform files for one or more satellites. Waveform file simulation, a cost-effective solution for manufacturing environments, can be performed with Agilent's M9381A, VSG PXIe, EXT E6607, and X-Series vector signal generators, as well as the EXM E6630 or E6640A mobile device test equipment.
New, intuitive information display modes allow users to understand the current playback status of situations from the receiver's perspective. Situation information displays include a satellite view, which shows the location of all visible satellites; a power view, which displays the instantaneous power of all visible satellites in a bar graph; and a trajectory view, which shows the receiver's path as it moves within a given situation.
“Agilent continues to offer cost-effective R&D and manufacturing options for the GNSS market through well-known test platforms, such as our EXG and MXG signal generators,” said Liz Ruetsch, Director of Strategic Marketing for Communications Operations at Agilent China. “We also offer cost-effective solutions for manufacturing customers that enable testing of devices across multiple formats, including mobile, WLAN, and GNSS technologies.”
The N7609B software helps users create validated real-time GNSS signals that can simulate US GPS, Russian GLONASS, European Galileo, Chinese BeiDou, SBAS, and Japanese QZSS satellites. It allows for the creation of static scenarios for stationary receivers or dynamic scenarios for moving receivers. The simulation can be for an ideal environment or for an environment with disturbances such as multipath, pseudorange error, loss of satellite visibility, satellite power changes, ionospheric, tropospheric, and atmospheric attenuation, antenna effects, continuous wave interference, or AWGN.
