February 26, 2010
IFEN GmbH's GNSS RF navigation constellation simulator NavX-NCS has been awarded the official certificate of the TÜV SÜD stating the conformance concerning high-precision signal generation and Galileo OS SIS ICD conformance of signal characteristics and signal quality.
Awarded by the independent third-party certifier TÜV SÜD and validated in the GNSS laboratory of the independent company NavCert GmbH and of the European Space Agency (ESA), this certification confirms the high-precision GNSS signal-generation quality and the Galileo Open Service (OS) Signal-In-Space (SIS) conformance of signal characteristics and signal quality of IFEN’s GNSS RF navigation constellation simulator NavX-NCS. The NavX-NCS has been tested by NavCert according to the international standards PPP 80018:2008, EN 61010:2002, IEC 60297-1:1986, and EN 60417-1:2000.
“We were impressed by the overall quality of the system to fulfill all relevant requirements," said Martin Grzebellus, Managing Director of NavCert GmbH.
“The conformance certification demonstrates again the quality and reliability of IFEN’s GNSS RF navigation constellation simulator NavX-NCS,” explains
Günter Heinrichs, Head of Customer Applications. “We are delighted to receive this certification, which acts as further evidence of the high-precision signal generation and signal quality of IFEN GNSS test solutions on which our customers depend.”
IFEN offers different classes of GNSS RF constellation signal generators, satisfying its customers GNSS testing applications. The NavX-NCS is the most flexible and capable RF signal generator for multi-GNSS constellations on the market. With up to 108 signal channels and 9 L-band frequencies, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS can be simulated simultaneously.
Because of its flexibility, scalability and extendability, the NavX-NCS is a "future-proof-investment" for the coming multi-GNSS era, the company said.
NavCert GmbH as part of the TÜV SÜD group offers support regarding the development and the marketing of products and services of positioning and navigation systems.
