    Japan-based iP-Solutions has introduced Portos Team, a new GNSS RF signal record-and-playback system.

    The Portos Team can record and play back — or simulate —multi-frequency, multi-system GNSS signals when paired with the company’s Replicator. It can do the same for CRPA signals when paired with the Ninja (see photo).

    The Portos itself can also operate as multi-frequency or CRPA front-end for a GNSS software receiver.

    The high-end Ninja simulator allows for multi-antenna controlled radiation pattern antenna (CRPA) and local-area augmentation system (LAAS) simulation, the company said.

    The 24-channel Replicator — developed in collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) — provides real-time generation of GNSS signals, recording and playback of dual-frequency GNSS RF signals, and GNSS RF signal analysis with JAXA COSMODE ionospheric scintillation monitor.

  • Launchpad: GNSS simulator developed with JAXA

    The Replicator by IP Solutions  is a multi-frequency, multi-system GNSS simulator for advanced research and development, equipment testing and education. It can also function as a recording, playback and signal analysis instrument.

    IP Solutions is exhibiting this week at ION GNSS+, in Portland, Oregon.

    The Replicator is the result of a collaboration with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

    mfr3-ipsolutions-replicator-wComponents include the Simceiver hardware device, the ReGen control software for real-time simulation, Streamer control software for recording and playback, and ARAMIS software receiver for signal analysis.

    The 24-channel Replicator provides real-time generation of GNSS signals, recording and playback of dual-frequency GNSS RF signals, and GNSS RF signal analysis with JAXA COSMODE ionospheric scintillation monitor.

    The Replicator offers real-time simulation of dual-frequency GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou or GPS+GLONASS, GPS+BeiDou, GPS+Galileo signals.

    Comprehensive simulation models include atmosphere, multipath, and more. Also available is signal analysis based on JAXA COSMODE ionospheric scintillation monitor.

    Two or more units can be used to simulate, record and playback more signals at the same time. Simulated and recorded signals can be stored in digitized format, analyzed by a MATLAB software receiver and played back as RF at any time.

    Replicator Advantages

    • User defined models with ANSI C API
    • Real-time simulation
    • Record and playback
    • GNSS signal analysis
    • Upgradable to more features , signals and frequencies for the difference in price.
