A Users' Perspective on the Continuing Evolution of GPS Simulators

Avram K. Tetewsky, and James W. Youngberg

Abstract:	A GPS simulator is a valuable piece of test equipment. For the receiver developer it provides a controllable signal source. For the integrator it places a receiver (and, often, other navigation sensors) on a movable host platform. For the analyst it produces an environment to enable studying the operational performance of a system. Over the last decade we have seen developers' and testers' expectations of simulator capability and technical performance increase in parallel to the evolution and maturing of end-user missions. This paper identifies the trends we have seen and projects their implications on future simulator hardware and software.
