Generation of GNSS Signals in a Hardware in the Loop (HIL) Environment

The vector signal generators and GNSS simulators R&S^®SMW200A and R&S^®SMBV100B are remote-controllable in realtime and can therefore be implemented into a dynamic HIL environment. The HIL simulator can dictate position coordinates, kinetic parameters, and vehicle attitude information based upon which the R&S^® GNSS simulator updates the simulated receiver movement in realtime.

This application note presents background information and details about operating a R&S^® GNSS simulator in HIL applications.
