Time Synchronous Signals with Multiple R&S® SMBV100A Vector Signal Generators
This application note explains how to synchronize the signals from multiple R&S® SMBV100A vector signal generators in time. The synchronization of the instruments is based on a master-slave principle where one R&S® SMBV100A acts as master and supplies all necessary synchronization signals to the other instruments (slaves). The setup is simple and provides highly synchronized test signals.
Hardware in the Loop (HIL) Testing with a GNSS Simulator
The vector signal generator and GNSS simulator R&S® SMBV100A is remote- controllable in realtime and can therefore be implemented into a dynamic HIL environment. The HIL simulator can dictate position coordinates, kinetic parameters, and vehicle attitude information based upon which the R&S® SMBV100A updates the simulated receiver movement in realtime. This application note presents background information and details about operating the R&S® SMBV100A in HIL applications.

GPS, Glonass, Galileo Receiver Testing Using a GNSS Signal Simulator
Testing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers can be done easily, reliably and cost-efficiently by using the R&S® SMBV100A vector signal generator. This GNSS simulator can generate GPS, Glonass and Galileo signals for up to 24 satellites in realtime. This application note explains how to perform automated receiver tests using the R&S® SMBV100A. The presented tests include TTFF, sensitivity and location accuracy measurements, moving receiver and interference tests, and many more. Basic remote control examples are provided for the individual tests to ease programming.
Test your eCall in-vehicle system modules reliably
The R&S® CMW500 and R&S® SMBV100A are the ideal team for testing your eCall system’s cellular modem and GNSS receiver in a lab environment.
Checking the weather forecast during breakfast or finding your way in rush hour traffic – just two examples of apps that allow smartphone users to benefit from location based services (LBS). How do these useful helpers manage to find the phone’s exact position so quickly? This article gives you a behind the scenes look at positioning for location based services.
