Signal generators enable Pulsar signal testing
A software option for Rohde & Schwarz vector signal generators supports Pulsar signal simulation testing in production settings. Pulsar is Xona Space Systems’ planned LEO satellite constellation for high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. R&S SMBV100B and SMW200A generators equipped with the software allow engineers and manufacturers to test receiver compatibility as the constellation enters scaled deployment.
“Pulsar is designed to upgrade the global navigation infrastructure while remaining compatible with GNSS devices already in use today,” said Bryan Chan, co-founder and VP of strategy at Xona Space Systems. “Test and measurement solutions play an important role in enabling device manufacturers to evaluate compatibility as new signals become available. Rohde & Schwarz brings deep expertise in precision signal generation that helps make this possible.”
The SMBV100B and SMW200A vector signal generators will soon join Pulsar’s verified ecosystem program, which recognizes devices and test systems validated for compatibility with Pulsar signals.
