GSS4100 In Stock

The GSS4100 by Spirent is a cost-effective single-channel GPS/SBAS L1 C/A code RF signal generator designed specifically for satellite navigation equipment testing. It finds applications in various settings such as manufacturing environments, laboratories, and field tests. The generator offers two control options: it can be operated using the SimCHAN software through a USB and PC GUI cable connection, or an IEEE-488/GPIB interface can be utilized for direct control . Primarily used for evaluating GPS/SBAS receivers, the GSS4100 serves multiple purposes including incoming product testing, repeated and extended tests to gain statistical generation of data , comparative evaluation, production testing, and design verification.

The GSS4100 is capable of generating either a Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signal or a GPS L1 C/A code signal. It is equipped with USB and standard IEEE-488 (GPIB) interfaces, enabling seamless integration into a user's existing test environment. Additionally, the GSS4100 supports synchronization with other systems through its Frequency Standard and 1PPS/Trigger inputs, as well as its 1PPS output. Users have complete control over various aspects of the generated signal, including message/signal content, time of simulation, Doppler, power level, and PRN. This extensive control can be accessed either through an interactive mode using the provided SimCHAN software for Microsoft® Windows® through the use of a USB, or through a ATE (Automated Test Equipment) fully integrated mode utilizing the GPIB control interface.
