Signals & constellations
Generate the required civil GNSS signals and frequencies within one repeatable scenario and receiver test definition.

ReGen™ GNSS RF Simulator Systems
Common GNSS simulation technology for rackmount Replicator systems, compact Simceiver systems, digitized-IF generation and specified SDR hardware.
Replicator ReGen-based GNSS RF simulator
ReGen software
One scenario engine. Several forms of output.
ReGen defines the signal environment, vehicle motion and receiver test conditions independently of the final hardware configuration.
ReGen-DIF generates digitized-IF files without RF hardware. ReGen-SDR works with specified SDR hardware. Replicator and Simceiver generate real-time RF from the same scenario engine.
Test capabilities
Control the conditions that are difficult to repeat outside.
Motion & timing
Exercise static, vehicle, airborne, space and customer-supplied trajectories with external timing and trigger integration.
Propagation & errors
Introduce controlled atmospheric effects, multipath, antenna behaviour and measurement errors for comparative testing.
Adverse signals
Build controlled interference and spoofing experiments for receiver evaluation and multi-antenna processing research.
System family
Select by test architecture, not by a fixed package.
Choose the output form and hardware. RF cards, outputs, signals and software options are set for the required test.

Integrated systems
Ninja™ Modular Integrated GNSS Test System
Ninja combines synchronized Simceiver™ nodes with PORTOS front ends and recorders, ARAMIS receivers, timing and synchronization, controlled jammer/interference modules, communications-system interfaces and system-level control software.
Ninja has been used publicly by IP-Solutions as the name of its advanced multi-antenna and CRPA simulation systems.

Independent scientific use
LEO spaceborne-receiver simulation.
ReGen was used by Prof. Pavel Kovář and colleagues in work for an ESA project to simulate GNSS signals for a LEO spaceborne receiver. Prof. Kovář also reported using ReGen for testing LEO satellite GPS receivers.
Configuration enquiry
Define the signals, outputs and test objective first.
Tell us the receiver, constellations and frequencies, dynamics, interfaces, number of RF outputs and intended acceptance method. We will separate the standard configuration from customization and NRE.
