Coupling: Visible with the Capability selection of Basic Single Satellite Waveform and Basic Multi-Satellite Waveform.

Click the ClosedGenerate icon to generate a waveform based on the Constellation and SV ID properties (SV ID does not apply to GLONASS). Alternatively click Control -> Generate to generate the waveform.

Download

Coupling: Visible with the Capability selection of Basic Single Satellite Waveform.

Click the Closeddownload icon to download a pre-generated waveform based on the Constellation and SV ID properties (SV ID does not apply to GLONASS). Alternatively click Control and then Download to download the waveform.

Parameters

1. Capability

Capability

Choice: Basic Single Satellite Waveform | Basic Multi-satellite Waveform | Advanced Real-time Signal Generation | Advanced Real-time Signal Generation Pro

Default: Advanced Real-time Signal Generation

Basic Single Satellite Waveform

Selects a pre-generated single satellite waveform file and downloads it to the instrument for playback.

Basic Multi-Satellite Waveform Selects a pre-generated multi-satellite waveform file and downloads it to the instrument for playback.

Advanced Real-time Signal Generation

Loads in a scenario file and generates a real-time GNSS signal, or provides continuous real-time scenario generation based on the Scenario Generator node settings. The Scenario Source selection determines whether to use a file or continuous real-time generation.

Advanced Real-time Signal Generation Pro

Select the capability of GNSS signal simulation. Basic mode generates and downloads user defined single satellite waveform or multi-satellite waveform to instrument for playback. Advanced mode plays real-time navigation signal based on user selected scenario file or static signal based on satellite settings. Advanced Pro mode plays real-time GPS L1+L5 navigation signal with real-time scenario generation.

Select the capability of GNSS signal simulation. Basic mode generates and downloads user defined single satellite waveform or multi-satellite waveform to instrument for playback. Advanced mode plays real-time navigation signal based on user selected scenario file or static signal based on satellite settings.

2. General

Waveform Name

Enter an alpha-numeric waveform file name. The maximum name length is 23 characters.

Scenario File

Default: C:\<Program Files> or <Program Files (x86)>\Keysight\Signal Studio\Global Navigation Satellite System\Applications\Gnss\Scenarios\20130103_Beijing.ags

Coupling: While Navigation is the Simulation Mode, this property is visible when User Scenario File is the Scenario Source

For Advanced Real-time Signal Generation capability

select a scenario file for playback in Navigation mode or initialize the satellite channels in Static Test mode.

For Basic Multi-satellite Waveform capability select a scenario file to build the multi-satellite waveform with a particular scenario.

Scenario Start Time Offset

Range: 0 to Scenario Duration

Default: 0.0

Enter an offset value in seconds with resolution of 0.6s, which indicates the starting position of scenario playback.

Constellation

Choice: depends on the selected scenario file

Default: GPS

Coupling: Available with Basic Single Satellite Waveform or Basic Multi-Satellite Waveform as the Capability property selection.

Select the constellation of the satellite signal to be simulated.

Satellite Power Control

Choice: Range Based | Equal Power

Default: Equal Power

Select the power control mode for satellites. In Equal Power mode, all satellites will have the same power level. In Range Based mode, power level of each satellite will be calculated based on its pseudorange.

Satellite Power

Range: -144 dBm to 0 dBm

Default: -130 dBm

For Advanced mode

This property sets a reference power level on instrument's front panel. Power levels of all the satellites and interference tones will be relative to this reference level. It's recommended to set this value to the possible highest power level of individual satellite or interference tone across the test.

For Basic modes

This property sets the power of each satellite for equal power control; sets the power for the satellite which has the maximum power in the first record of the scenario for range-based power control.

For basic modes, the Amplitude setting in the Instrument node is coupled with this parameter automatically. However, when directly connected to an M9381A configuration, due to hardware limitations, there will be +20 dB power offset in the instrument in cases where a large number of satellites are employed. To check the power offset, send the SCPI query POWER:OFFSET?.

External Attenuation

Range: 0 dB to 100 dB

Default: 0 dB

Enter the attenuation value of the external attenuator if connected to the instrument's RF port.

Sample Rate

Range: 0 to 50 MHz

Default: 4 MHz

Enter the sample rate for the single and multi-satellite waveform.

Waveform Length

Range: 0.001 to 1000 s

Default: 6s for single satellite waveform, 60s for multi-satellite waveform

Enter the waveform length in second.

Total Sample Points

Display the total sample points of the waveform.

3. Marker Settings

Marker1 Source

Choice: Start | Pulse per second | Pulse per millisecond

Default: Start

Set the marker1 source for single and multi-satellite waveform.

Marker2 Source

Choice: Start | Pulse per second | Pulse per millisecond

Default: Pulse per second

Set the marker2 source for single and multi-satellite waveform.

Marker4 Source

Choice: Start | Pulse per second | Pulse per millisecond

Default: Pulse per millisecond

Set the marker4 source for single and multi-satellite waveform.
