Abstract

This paper presents an anti-jamming Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver antenna testing system. The system is composed of a set of six circular rails with different radii that are installed to emulate GPS satellite orbits, a set of GPS antennas each carried by a trolley that can move on the rails to emulate GPS satellites, a trolley movement controller to emulate the GPS satellite constellation propagation, and a multi-channel GPS simulation system that provides GPS signal and GPS satellite state position information. The GPS receiver antenna under test is at the center of the rails. As the GPS antennas carried by trolleys move on the rail to emulate the GPS satellite constellation propagation, the GPS receiver antenna under test receives the emulated GPS signals. The GPS signals’ arrival direction is almost the same as that coming from real GPS satellites. The anti-jamming GPS receiver antenna testing system can emulate a GPS satellite constellation with multiple GPS satellites; with high emulation accuracy (in both GPS signal phase and satellite angular position with respect to the GPS receiver antenna under test); requiring only a single phase calibration at the beginning of each test; and can support a 4 hours test / emulation.
