GNSS RF simulation and SDR receiver engineering

GNSS RF simulation and SDR receiver engineering services.

Expert-led engineering for organizations that require more than a standard instrument. We combine consultancy, system integration, custom development and verification with GNSS RF simulators, RF front ends, SDR software receivers and signal-processing software.

IP-Solutions engineers discussing a GNSS system architecture with development hardware

Professional ServicesEngineering supported by working tools

From technical question to working system.

Engagements are defined around a technical objective, accessible interfaces, test evidence and agreed deliverables. Work may end in an assessment, but often continues into configured hardware, software, signal scenarios and acceptance tests.

01

Assess

Requirements, feasibility, system architecture, technical risk and independent review of a proposed GNSS/PNT approach.

02

Design

Receiver and simulator architectures, signal models, algorithms, interfaces, experimental methods and verification plans.

03

Integrate

Connect IP-Solutions products with customer receivers, computers, IMUs, HIL systems and existing laboratory equipment.

04

Verify

Controlled scenarios, recorded signals, performance analysis, troubleshooting and repeatable acceptance procedures.

Consultancy with an implementation path.

Professional services are normally supplied with IP-Solutions equipment, software or a defined development program. This keeps the work concrete: deliverables may include configured instruments, signal scenarios, interfaces, algorithms, reports and acceptance results. Standalone technical assessments can be considered when the problem and required decision are well defined.

Product integration package Configuration, interfaces, installation planning, commissioning and acceptance testing.
Engineering and NRE project Customer-specific hardware, firmware, software, APIs, signal models or specialized instruments.
Simulation and verification package Test definition, scenarios, execution method, recorded evidence and technical results.
Technical assessment Feasibility, architecture or independent review delivered against a defined technical question.

Specialist GNSS RF simulation and SDR receiver expertise.

Our services concentrate on fields in which we also develop equipment, algorithms or experimental methods.

GNSS RF simulation, trajectories and error modelling Software-defined receivers and accessible signal processing Multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS RF and digitized-IF recording, playback and analysis Hardware-in-the-loop and GNSS–INS integration Ionosphere, scintillation and propagation studies Instant and high-precision positioning Interference, controlled spoofing and receiver resilience Multi-antenna processing, coherent acquisition and CRPA Customer-specific instruments and low-volume systems

Defined work, evidence and usable outputs.

The exact output depends on the project, but the commercial scope is agreed before work begins.

  • Requirements, feasibility or architecture report
  • Configured equipment and documented experimental setup
  • Signal models, scenarios and verification procedures
  • Custom hardware, firmware, software or API integration
  • Performance analysis and acceptance-test results
  • Technical documentation, training and knowledge transfer
A project begins with the technical question, available evidence and required result—not a generic allocation of consulting hours.

Standard product pricing and non-recurring engineering are identified separately. Scope, dependencies, deliverables and acceptance criteria are agreed for each engagement.

Published research with product responsibility.

Projects are led by Dr. Ivan G. Petrovski, Principal Engineer of IP-Solutions and author or co-author of three technical textbooks published by Cambridge University Press and Springer. His work spans GNSS receivers, simulation, positioning, ionosphere, software-defined radio, field experiments and technical education.

IP-Solutions has developed specialist GNSS receiver, RF and simulator systems in Japan since 2007. Recommendations can therefore be tested and implemented using technology for which we retain direct engineering responsibility.

International projects may also be delivered with specialist engineering and integration partners where the location or project scale requires it.

GNSS laboratory and practical technical training

Use the engineering tools as a complete laboratory.

Laboratory systems combine ReGen simulation, Simceiver or Replicator RF hardware, PORTOS recording, ARAMIS ISM, ARAMIS R&D or RAD receiver processing, inertial sensors, experiments and textbooks. A configuration is selected around the users, accessible processing levels and required technical outcomes—not simply a collection of instruments.

Individual research laboratory A simulator–receiver system for algorithm development, thesis work and specialized experiments.
Engineering verification laboratory Repeatable simulation, acquisition, processing and result comparison for development or acceptance work.
Classroom laboratory Structured practical teaching with shared simulation, receiver workstations, exercises and textbooks.
Technical training Equipment operation, simulator use, SDR processing and specialist GNSS topics for engineering or university groups.

Practical GNSS teaching from the first Tokyo school.

IP-Solutions and Dr. Ivan G. Petrovski were involved in organizing and supporting the IPNTJ and TUMSAT International GNSS Summer Schools in Tokyo (2013–2025), contributing lectures, practical simulator and SDR receiver classes, equipment and company support.

A 2013 presentation published by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs identifies Dr. Petrovski as Guest Professor at TUMSAT and Director of iP-Solutions, responsible for the two-day “GNSS Signal and Receiver” class. It also lists iP-Solutions among the organizations cooperating with the school.
