GPS L1 Production Test System
Spirent GSS6100
The Spirent GSS6100 is designed specifically for high
volume manufacturing test applications for devices
that include a GPS L1 C/A code receiver. For many
applications, a single channel GPS signal simulator is
the preferred way to ensure that each device produced
meets defined paramaters. While multi-channel GPS
testing is essential during R&D, integration and
verification testing, in a manufacturing environment
many applications prefer a single channel to stimulate
the receiver in a test mode. Controlled GPS testing in
this way assures correct assembly and verifies
expected performance parameters; typically C/No
within a specified range for a given RF input power
level.
Features
1 channel GPS L1 C/A code
GPIB (IEEE488), USB or RS232 control interfaces
Alternative “instant start” mode at power-on, based
on pre-defined parameter values
Supplied SimCHAN PC software allows use in
instrument mode as an alternative to GPIB (PC not
supplied)
User control over test parameters including power
level, Doppler, PRN, GPS time and data message
Rack mount 2U chassis
Comprehensive control ICD for easy integration into
manufacturing test rigs
In-situ calibration procedure (no need to remove
unit from rack)
L1 SBAS message support
Benefits
Easy integration with ATE control systems and other
instruments
Configurable to minimise test time per device
In rack calibration ensures minimal downtime and
disruption
In region and in country Spirent maintenance and
repair service
Controlled testing assures shipped device quality
Industry-leading stability, quality and reliability
May be synchronized to other systems via
1PPS/Trigger, frequency standard input/output and
1PPS output
GSS4100 Compatibility
The GSS6100 supports all the functionality of the
familiar Spirent GSS4100 single channel simulator. In
addition, the GSS6100 offers an alternate operating
mode that allows continuous generation of pre-defined
parameters from power-on.
