VIAVI GPSG-1000

The GPSG-1000 is a portable, easy-to use GPS and Galileo positional simulator. It fills a gap in the market by providing a low-cost 12 channel test set that creates three-dimensional simulations.

This new simulator is also designed to be software upgradable: versatile time-saving portable test set for GPS/GALILEO receivers including WAAS/EGNOS SBAS simulation; system – simulated 3D position may be user entered in latitude/longitude/height format or 3D position may be dynamically simulated utilizing a multi-leg waypoint entry scheme; satellite vehicle (SV) selection – all configurations allow GPS and Galileo satellites to be mixed.

Waypoints – Waypoints connect in 3D space, and you can choose whether to have the distance between them calculated based on range or altitude. Waypoint headings change in a realistic way; if you want to make a turn toward a waypoint, you’ll need to start turning early enough for it to complete its turn before reaching the next point. SBAS satellites WAAS/EGNOS may be manually selected or automatically based on your current position.
