New High-End GNSS Simulator Unveiled by Rohde & Schwarz at ION GNSS+ 2017

The R&S SMW200A GNSS simulator from Rohde & Schwarz.

Today, an increasing number of GNSS receivers are able to process signals from diverse navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou in several frequency bands — and in some cases with several antennas in parallel — in order to improve positioning accuracy. Accuracy can be further improved with differential GNSS (DGNSS) techniques.
