GPS simulators are radio frequency generating instruments that are capable of transmitting the same exact data as GPS satellites. However the value of a GPS simulator is in the ability to change a wide variety of parameters right from the test bench: Data from the satellite: Date/time via the clock parameters.

What does GPS simulator mean?

GPS simulators are radio frequency generating instruments that are capable of transmitting the same exact data as GPS satellites. However the value of a GPS simulator is in the ability to change a wide variety of parameters right from the test bench: Data from the satellite: Date/time via the clock parameters.

How can I make a GPS signal?

Generate a GPS signal by using these three steps. Generate GPS data bits by using the configuration parameters that are described in later sections. The data bits are generated at a rate of 50 bits per second (bps). Spread these low rate data bits by using high rate spreading codes.

What does a GPS simulator do on a Garmin?

Simulating a route allows you to see how the device will navigate you without actually driving the route; the vehicle icon will move and the device will speak the turn instructions. This feature is useful when you are in a location where a satellite signal cannot be accessed or for calculating a planned route.

How do I turn off GPS on my Garmin?

Enabling or Disabling Location Services

  1. Select. > Location.
  2. Select the toggle switch to enable or disable location services.

What is the GPS frequency?

All GPS satellites broadcast on at least two carrier frequencies: L1, at 1575.42 MHz, and L2, at 1227.6 MHz (newer satellites also broadcast on L5 at 1176 MHz).

What is GPS simulator on a Garmin sat nav?

What signals does GPS use?

Signals. Each GPS satellite transmits data on two frequencies, L1 (1575.42 Mhz) and L2 (1227.60 MHz). The atomic clocks aboard the satellite produces the fundamental L-band frequency, 10.23 Mhz. The L1and L2 carrier frequencies are generated by multiplying the fundamental frequency by 154 and 120, respectively.

Who is Racelogic?

Based in the UK, Racelogic has developed GPS data-loggers, Video overlay systems, GPS Simulators, CAN Interfaces and Traction Control since 1992. Its flagship VBOX is now used by over 200 different automotive companies in over 55 countries. VBOX has become an industry standard way of measuring speed, position, distance and acceleration.

What is a GPS simulator and how does it work?

A GPS simulator gives the developer a number of advantages. The most obvious is that of convenience – being able to replay raw RF satellite signals directly into GPS equipment in the confines of the lab or office, without having to venture outdoors, clearly makes testing easier. So what is a GPS simulator?
