Acquisition sensitivity
Tracking sensitivity
Sensitivityminimum = -174dBm/Hz + C/Nominimum + NFreceiver
Minimum level of signal that allows GPS receiver to acquire or track the GPS signal
(may also be specified in terms of C/No)
Acquisition sensitivity: minimum level to successfully perform TTFF under cold
start (typically around -140 to -150 dBm)
Tracking sensitivity: minimum level to maintain location fix once it has been
attained (typically -150 to -160 dBm)
Test requires multi-satellite GPS signal with valid navigational messages for TTFF,
and real-time satellite power control to reduce power levels to test sensitivity
Location Accuracy
Location Accuracy
Absolute and relative accuracy
Moving GPS receiver accuracy
Satellite tracking accuracy
Absolute location accuracy: Closeness of the receivers calculated
location fix to the ideal (simulated) location
Relative location accuracy: Compares location fixes between tests
May be tested for both stationary and moving GPS receivers
Satellite tracking accuracy: Track location of single satellite
Tests require multi-satellite GPS signal for location fix, repeatable test
scenarios, moving GPS receiver scenarios, and ability to vary power and
other satellite parameters to test tracking

RF interference measurements
Measures the ability of the GPS receiver to operate in
the presence of interfering (jamming) signals (second RF
source required)
Flexibility
Use different scenarios to simulate different locations and times, with different
satellites and orbits
Control
Use standard test scenarios throughout your process
Stress Testing
Turn individual satellites on/off and change satellite power
Reduce satellite visibility
Introduce specific, known impairments
