Product Description

The CLAW GPS Simulator is a small, low-cost, 18-channel full constellation, GPS/GNSS simulator for converting NMEA and SCPI PVT (position/velocity/time) data into GPS RF signals and for simulating GNSS jamming and GPS spoofing scenarios. It can also be used to retrofit legacy GPS clocks with the latest generation of GNSS receivers, such as Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, SAASM, M-code, or even with INS capability. The CLAW is ideal for manufacturing environments and R&D applications that require consistent and repeatable local GNSS signals at low price points, and simulating GNSS jamming scenarios as well as GPS spoofing scenarios.

Features

18-Channel GPS Simulation
Real Time Transcoding
Fully Self-Contained
Powered by USB or external source
Highly Accurate simulation
Wide-range RF output power control
Store extensive dynamic simulation scenarios
Fully self-contained, stores location/time/date data in internal NV memory, or by storing complex vector data to simulate highly dynamic scenarios.
Accurate control of RF output power ranging from 100 dBm to less than –130 dBm, with 0.1 dB resolution, and typically better than 1.5 dB accuracy over the controllable power range.
Random scenario generation, including the simulation of Leapsecond events, week 1023 rollover events, or any other GPS Live-Sky scenarios.
Multi-path simulation, using the entire 18 channel simulator capability.
Easy in-field software upgrade feature.
Built-in RF signal generator with sweep, CW and random noise functions that are useful in simulating GNSS jamming scenarios, as well as GPS spoofing scenarios.
FCC-certified, has 10 MHz and 1 PPS I/O, accepts an external 10 MHz reference, and is kitted with various accessories.
Easy-to-use, configurable freeware SimCon Windows application.
Standalone simulator does not require an external computer for processing or control.
