Abstract:
A GNSS receiver design is tested, which design includes software for generating position/time related data (DPT) based on raw digital data (dRAW) when the software is executed in a processing unit of the receiver. GNSS signals (SRF) are received via a radio frequency input device while moving the radio frequency input device along a route trajectory. The received GNSS signals (SRF) are fed to a radio-frequency front end of a representative example of a receiver unit built according to the design to be tested. The radio-frequency front end produces raw digital data (dRAW) representing the received GNSS signals (SRF), and the raw digital data (dRAW) are stored in a primary data storage as a source file (Fsc). The source file (Fsc) is read from the primary data storage, and the source file (Fsc) is processed by means of the software to generate at least one set of position/time related data (DPT). Each set of position/time related data (DPT) is stored to a respective result file (Fres), and the result file(s) (Fres) is/are evaluated against reference data (Dref) to determine the performance of the design.
