Product Overview

RENT AEROFLEX GPSG-1000 (call for availability)

The Aeroflex GPSG-1000 is a truly portable GPS and Galileo positional simulator. The GPSG-1000, is easy to use, configurable and inexpensive. It fills a gap in the market by providing a low-cost 12-channel test set that creates three-dimensional simulations. The Aeroflex GPSG-1000 GPS Simulator is also designed to be software upgradable.

Features of the Aeroflex GPSG-1000 include:

• GPS signals simulated: L1, L1C, L2C, L5
• Galileo signals simulated: E1, E5, E5a, E5b, E6
• Simultaneous GPS/Galileo simulation
• SBAS satellites simulated:
  • WAAS/EGNOS L1, L5
  • MSAS (available 2011)
  • GAGAN (available 2011)
• Static or multi-leg dynamic positional simulation via waypoint entry system
• 6 or 12 channel configurations available with upgrade path (RAIM supported)
• Programmable satellite vehicle (SV) parametrics and health
• User or UTC referenced time and date
• Direct-connect to receiver or to installed system via antenna coupler
• Large touch-screen display with simple user interface
• Remote control interface USB/LAN
• NMEA 0183 data input

The six channel GPSG-1000 configuration provides 3D positional simulation with five channels for RAIM operation and one channel dedicated to SBAS, WAAS or EGNOS simulation.

The optional twelve channel GPSG-1000 configuration provides the same capability as the six channel unit, plus six additional channels. This allows any combination of visible SVs to be selected.

Simulated 3D position may be user entered in latitude/longitude/height format or 3D position may be dynamically simulated utilizing a 50 leg waypoint entry scheme. Up to 20 navigation plans may be saved and recalled under a user assigned name. A built-in GPS receiver allows positional simulation in the form of a range, heading and altitude offset from current test set position.

Satellite Vehicle (SV) Selection:

All GPSG-1000 configurations allow GPS and Galileo satellites to be mixed. (The Galileo codes may be updated via a text file upload.)

Waypoints:

Way point legs join up in 3D space, with either range rate or altitude rate being auto calculated. Trajectory changes are calculated to simulate real world navigation, i.e. waypoint leg heading changes utilize realistic rates of turn; altitude changes utilize realistic rates of descent or climb. Way points may be entered in LAT/LONG form or automatically recalled from an airport or city database.

SBAS:

SBAS satellites WAAS/EGNOS/*MSAS*/*GAGAN* may be manually selected or automatically based on simulated position. * Available 2011
