Swept frequency software is optional for noise & interference generators

Jan 23, 2004 12:00 PM

Parsippany, N.J. -- Noise Com has released a new software option for the GPS7500 noise and interference generators that delivers forward, reverse and a unique forth/back frequency sweep over the entire 40 MHz output bandwidth at any of the L1 and optionally L2 or L5, GPS test frequencies.

The new software can provide swept frequency signals at any of the output power levels from -126.5 to +21 dBm of the GPS7500. The software allows designers to set specific CW sweep parameters such as output power, start frequency, stop frequency, sweep duration and sweep type. Noise Com's GPS7500 noise and interference generators are equipped with one or optionally two independent arbitrary waveform generators capable of 40 MHz bandwidth for interference generation over the L1 and L2 or L5 bands. The instrument features an integrated PC that allows user-defined arbitrary interference and jamming waveforms. Sine waves, white noise and arbitrary waveforms can be generated and pulsed at any duty cycle between 0 and 100% at 6.67 nanoseconds resolution and a unique 164.5 dB on/off ratio.

The two-channel, modular design enhances expandability, allowing engineers to simultaneously test GPS receiver operation in L1 and L2 or L5 frequencies. As a result, the instrument effectively tests products based on today's standards in airborne automotive, defense, mobile location and E9-1-1 applications. It also provides an easy route to supporting emerging requirements including controlled reception pattern antenna, CRPA.
