Enables greater collaboration and faster
product development through I/Q data streaming
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the world leader in global
navigation satellite systems (GNSS) testing solutions, today
announced the release of SimIQ, a new software that will allow for
earlier and more efficient GNSS testing during product development.
From software-in-the-loop through to final form testing, SimIQ
enables developers to collaborate across the full design lifecycle
through the creation, sharing and replay of I/Q data files.
SimIQ has been developed to meet the growing need to test GNSS
capabilities earlier to accelerate product development, while
simultaneously reducing costs by identifying issues prior to the
purchase of hardware components. For developers using Spirent’s
market-leading GSS7000 and GSS9000 simulators, SimIQ extends
multi-frequency, multi-constellation simulation capabilities to
cover software-only testing needs through the capture and replay of
high fidelity I/Q data files. Housed in a single system, SimIQ
reads and generates I/Q data with two major components, SimIQ
Capture and SimIQ Replay.
- SimIQ Capture - Allows Spirent GNSS simulators to
generate I/Q files containing all the GNSS signal data required to
test the algorithms, conformance, and performance of software
receivers. It enables the recording of GNSS I/Q data into files
hosted in the simulator, helping development and testing teams to
validate positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) algorithms before
expensive hardware designs.
- SimIQ Replay - Enables the simulator to read any I/Q
file containing GNSS data. In addition, it facilitates the
generation of RF from pre-recorded interference signals and custom
waveforms. The flexibility and unrivalled signal generation
architecture of Spirent’s hardware enables the generation of these
signals from I/Q files, while maintaining fidelity and quality due
to Spirent’s unrivalled signal generation architecture.
Martin Foulger, General Manager of Spirent’s Positioning,
Navigation and Timing business said: “With SimIQ, test engineers
will now be able to utilize our simulators to test GNSS throughout
the full design lifecycle, ultimately saving time and resources,
while accelerating technology development.”
The new software will bring significant benefits to developers
in the aerospace, automotive and defense industries, as Ricardo
Verdeguer Moreno, Product Manager for SimIQ explains: “SimIQ
Capture enables developers to test their receiver algorithms in the
earliest stages of design in order to minimize their costs. This
provides designers with full assurance that they can move forward
with confidence to the hardware design phase.”
SimIQ will be available to new and existing customers beginning
in Q4 2020. For more information about Spirent’s SimIQ test
capability for Spirent GNSS simulators, visit the SimIQ product
