About the GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is designed specifically for production test applications. Features such as the GPIB interface for ATE integration, rack mount chassis and in-rack annual calibration are provided as standard and facilitate use of the GSS6300 in the volume manufacturing test environment.
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is recommended for manufacturing test applications where a single channel is required for controlled GNSS testing. The GSS6300 enables testing to ensure correct assembly procedure and verification of expected performance parameters, including:
- C / No Calibration

Datasheet MS3063 Issue 3-40 June 2015 7
What the GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator does The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator provides a simulated signal from a GPS, SBAS, GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou BD2 satellite at the L1 / E1 / B1 frequency.
Generation of signals from the various constellations is enabled by licence keys. If five licence keys are present the GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator can generate all the following in a single unit:
[1x GPS signal with 1x SBAS signal] OR [1x GPS signal with 1x QZSS signal]
[1x GLONASS signal]
[1x Galileo signal]
[1x Beidou signal]
The GPS signal will come allocated with SBAS without the need for an additional licence, however, a license will be required if QZSS is needed with the selection being made prior to the start of simulation.
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is also supplied with SimCHAN for Windows® software to allow it to be used as a general-purpose laboratory signal generator.
How the GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator works The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator includes two principal modes of operation – the primary mode and an alternative mode.
1. In the primary mode, GNSS message generation is controlled via its integral GPIB (IEEE-488) interface, with USB and RS232 also being supported.
2. In the alternative mode, the GSS6300 generates a pre-defined GNSS signal constantly whenever the unit is powered up. The alternative mode may be used when a continuous GNSS source is required for testing. The user may define appropriate satellite code, power level and other parameters to be broadcast during alternative mode operation.
Also supplied with the simulator is a software application package SimCHAN for Windows® which allows the user to control the signal generator as an instrument via its intuitive graphical point-and-click interface, when installed on a suitable PC equipped with USB.
GSS6100 and GSS4100 Compatibility The GSS6300 retains full functional compatibility with the earlier Spirent GSS6100 and GSS4100 products.
With the GSS6300 it is additionally possible to produce not only GPS and SBAS L1 signals but also (with appropriate licence keys) GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou or QZSS signals if required.
Performance of a GPS enabled GSS6300 has been verified to be equivalent to a GSS6100.
The GSS6300 provides the same modes of operation as the GSS6100 and shares the same remote command instruction set.
If you have any questions about the GSS6300 compatibility with earlier Spirent products, please contact Spirent.

Hardware Description
General
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is housed in a 2U, full width rack-mountable case and is powered via the ac mains connector. The rear panel mounted fan provides forced-air cooling.
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator uses direct digital waveform synthesis to provide a low-cost, stable instrument with very low life-cycle support costs.
Figure 1 GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator
The primary RF output is fitted on the front of the unit. All other connections are accessed via the rear-panel. Calibration adjustments may also be made via the rear panel.
Frequency accuracy is derived from a high-stability ovenised crystal oscillator fitted internally and its signal is made available for external use. Alternatively, the generator may be locked to an external frequency reference signal as described in Table 2 Coaxial Connections. The frequency of the external reference is software selectable.
The simulator can be synchronised with other test equipment using its 1PPS input and output signals.
Built-In-Test-Equipment (BITE) data are available via the IEEE-488, USB or RS232 interfaces. This enables any software to check that the simulator is operating correctly.
Signal Generator performance is defined in Table 1 of this datasheet.

Software and Control
SimCHAN Software
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is supplied with a Microsoft Windows® compatible software package called SimCHAN.
GSS6300 generates a data message based upon a message template stored in non-volatile memory. Any time related fields in the message are automatically inserted based on the start time specified. SimCHAN allows you to redefine the template and transfer it to the GSS6300 via USB.
SimCHAN has a graphical user interface (GUI) which is designed to be simple to use. All parameters are entered in engineering units and operator-entered parameters are checked to be within range. The mode of operation is readily visible on a Toolbar control.
Figure 3 Typical SimCHAN screenshot
The application window allows all parameters to be entered and reviewed. Data entry is easily accomplished using either point and click techniques or keyboard shortcut keys. The form may be saved and re-loaded allowing a user to build sets of standard test cases and quickly switch between them.

Primary Operating Mode
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator is designed for ATE applications and has been equipped with GPIB, USB and RS232 interfaces for device control when in its Primary operating mode.
GPIB Control
The IEEE-488 interface is the primary control interface for the signal generator. This interface may be used by a program or application created by the customer. All commands are available on this interface, including those that contain binary data. All the hardware features of the unit may be controlled and varied via this interface industry standard (IEEE-488.1) interface.
APPENDIX A lists the most common of the available GPIB commands.
RS232 Control
The RS-232 interface is available for simple scenario control, such as ARM / RUN / HALT commands. This interface may be used by a program or application created by the customer. This interface is not capable of sending commands that contain binary data.
USB Control
The USB interface is available for customers who wish to use the Spirent USB String Send utility to control the unit using discrete commands.
This interface is not suitable for use with a program or application created by the customer.

Calibration Requirements
The GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator must be calibrated at 12 monthly intervals to guarantee performance within specification. The GSS6300 has been designed to be easy to calibrate, requiring a minimum of expertise and time, and all adjusters are available externally on the rear panel of the simulator.
If the GSS6300 is to be used for very accurate absolute frequency measurements it is advisable to either check the absolute frequency of the simulator’s internal frequency oscillator or frequency-lock the unit to an external reference. A calibrated Frequency Counter is required to measure 10.00 MHz with a resolution of 0.05 Hz. A frequency adjust control is provided on the rear panel of the unit.
Spirent Communications | GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Generator Datasheet
Datasheet MS3063 Issue 3-40 June 2015
The output power level may be checked and/or adjusted as necessary (via rear panel) whilst monitoring the higher level RF port specifically provided for this purpose. A calibrated power meter capable of measuring a signal of around -50 dBm at 1.57542 GHz is required.

Command Description
ZCNT ; Specify simulated start time
Appendix B. GNSS OUT OF BAND SPECTRAL PURITY The expected signal power level that could be obtained at the Mon/Cal port is computed as:
PExpected (dBm) = PReference + POffset + PMON/CAL to RF where: PExpected : Expected power level PReference : Constellation specific reference power level POffset : Maximum power level offset wrt reference power level PMon/CAL to RF : Constellation specific Mon/Cal to RF power level difference range from 56dB to 59dB. For worst case situation, 56dB is used in the calculation.
By specifying the the GNSS out of band spurious to -95dBm, the carrier to spurious ratio is: C/N (dBc) = PExpected - GNSS out of band spurious
Appendix C. Product Description Codes The GSS6300 is available with one or more of the GNSS constellations installed.
All signals can be supported in a single chassis but only GPS and SBAS or GPS and QZSS can be simulated simultaneously.
Note that constellations not specified at initial purchase may be enabled subsequently by a straightforward field upgrade process.
It is recommended that in correspondence with Spirent the following product codes are used and to contact Spirent first regarding upgrade process.
