LABSAT 3 GPS SIMULATOR

POSTED IN PRODUCTS (/INDEX.PHP/EN/PRODUCTS/LABSAT-3/2-PRODUCTS)

The most aordable, portable, and versatile multi-constellation Global Navigation

Satellite Simulator on the market.
If you are selling, testing or developing products incorporating satellite navigation
chipsets, then you'll nd LabSat 3 makes your job easier, quicker and more cost
eective.

Features

Available for GPS L1, GLONASS L1,

Galileo E1, BeiDou B1, QZSS and SBAS
Small, rugged, anodised aluminium construction
Fully standalone

Compact, lightweight and portable

Simple to use one touch recording
Single, dual or triple constellation
Internal battery life up to 2 hours

Why use a GPS simulator?

LabSat 3 records and replays real world data, allowing realistic and repeatable
testing to be carried out under controlled conditions. Signal artefacts including
multipath, ionospheric eects and signal dropouts are reproduced and there are
no limits to the number of satellites used in the test.

Conventional testing usually requires driving the same route multiple times,
where conditions vary and satellite constellations change between tests. This
can make it very challenging to reproduce and nd software errors or reception
issues with the device under test. Using LabSat 3 saves many hours of work,
allowing you to quickly pinpoint errors and verify 'corner cases' without leaving
the test bench.

A very useful feature is the ability to record and replay additional streams of
data using the high speed digital port(s) on LabSat3. In this way, CAN bus data,
RS232 signals or digital event triggers can be fully synchronised during
playback, bringing a whole new level of realism to your bench simulations.
How does it work?

LabSat 3 receives the signal from a standard satellite antenna, but instead of
processing each of the received signals to calculate a position x, LabSat 3
digitises and stores the original satellite signals at a very high bandwidth onto a
removable SD card or USB hard drive.

The RF output of the LabSat 3 is then connected to the antenna input of the
device under test and the recorded data is replayed back as an RF signal. The
device under test will then start to track the satellites as though it was travelling
along the same path taken by the LabSat 3 during the original recording.

How easy is it to use?

One touch record/replay makes LabSat 3 extremely simple to operate. With its
rugged construction, built in battery and clear display, it is very easy to use the
LabSat 3 in the same environment as your product will experience in everyday
use, with little or no training.

A free library of pre-recorded and simulated les from around the world is
included to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

What satellite constellations can I record?

Each LabSat can be tuned to one of three user selectable frequencies:

1575.420 MHz - GPS (L1) + Galileo + SBAS + QZSS

1602.000 MHz - GLONASS (L1)
1561.098 MHz - BeiDou (B1)
Model Range

LabSat 3 comes in six versions. All LabSat versions also come with a SatGen v3
option.

All units types can be factory upgraded to any other version.

All versions of LabSat 3 are supplied with a standard TCXO (Temperature-
compensated crystal oscillator). However, an OCXO (Oven-controlled crystal
oscillator) upgrade is available for all units. Please contact your local distributor
(/index.php/en/contact/distributors-worldwide) or RACELOGIC oce
(/index.php/en/contact) for more details.

Can I test with an internal antenna & no external antenna

connector?

Yes, by using our active GPS antenna or the Passive GPS/GLONASS antennas
listed in our LabSat 3 accessories section. These antennas connect directly to
the RF ports on the LabSat 3 and will transmit the RF signal over short distances
to the GNSS device being tested.

What else can I record at the same time?

You can log a variety of other information such as CAN, serial or digital data
alongside the satellite signals. When the le is replayed, the embedded data is
reproduced at the same time, synchronized to within 60nS. You can also embed
a 1PPS signal using the internal GPS receiver.

01:45

Can I generate my own GPS test scenarios?

If you want to create your own custom test scenario using articial signals,
SatGen software allows you to quickly draw a route using Google maps, and then
automatically creates an RF le which can then be transferred to an SD card and
replayed on a LabSat 3.

Multiple satellites and multiple constellations can be simulated, and the user can
also have precise control over velocity, heading and height proles.
A suitable almanac can be automatically downloaded, or dened by the user.
SatGen can also import KML les and NMEA les, and the time, date and
dynamics are fully user denable.
