Implementation of a testbed for GNSS-R payload performance evaluation
The functional performance of space-borne instruments must be validated on ground before and after satellite integration. The effects of radio-frequency interference are also becoming more important, even in protected bands for earth observation. In this article, a GNSS and GNSS-R signal simulator i...

| Summary: | The functional performance of space-borne instruments must be validated on ground before and after satellite integration. The effects of radio-frequency interference are also becoming more important, even in protected bands for earth observation. In this article, a GNSS and GNSS-R signal simulator is developed as part of a testbed of GNSS receivers and GNSS-R payloads’ performance in high dynamics, and to study the effects of RFI in the GNSS-R observables. This article describes the different concepts and key enabling techniques that have been developed to support this project. |
