Core Application Scenarios

• High-Volume GPS Device Production — Verify receiver sensitivity and C/No performance at assembly line speeds (Based on manufacturing focus)

• Automotive Telematics Testing — Validate GPS functionality in car navigation systems with SBAS support (Based on feature set)

Manufacturing-Optimized Architecture

Features "Dedicated Signal Engine + Rapid Startup System" design: Single-channel GPS L1 C/A generator with SBAS message support (Source: Input description). Instant-start mode bypasses initialization sequences by loading pre-configured parameters (power level, Doppler, PRN) at power-on. 2U rack-mountable chassis with front-panel calibration preserves production floor space. SimCHAN software provides standalone control alternative to GPIB/USB automation.

GPS Receiver Production Test Workflow

1. Connection: DUT antenna port to GSS6100 RF output, configure GPIB/USB control interface

2. Configuration:
   - Enable instant-start mode with pre-set parameters (-130dBm, PRN1, static position)
   - Load SBAS test message for WAAS/EGNOS validation
   - Set pass/fail thresholds: C/No >40dB-Hz, TTFF <30s

3. Testing:
   - Power cycle simulator → auto-transmits test signal
   - Measure receiver sensitivity (-130dBm to -110dBm)
   - Verify position accuracy (5m RMS) and TTFF performance

4. Output: Auto-log results to MES system, GPIB command triggers bin sorting

Calibration Maintenance

Annual calibration required to maintain ±1dB power accuracy (Based on industry standards). Mitigation: ① Use in-situ calibration procedure (no rack removal); ② Schedule calibration during planned maintenance downtime (minimizes production impact).
