GPS Test Solution from LitePoint


The Ideal GPS Test Solution for Advanced Multi-Function Wireless Device Makers

ImageTest GPS devices in manufacturing with LitePoint IQnav™. It generates L1 GPS signals over a wide power range supporting both conducted and radiated test methods. IQnav offers both C/C++ level API interfaces for rapid integration into production test systems, and it has a Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for simple and rapid debug in verification environments.

Define all key parameters for GPS signal creation including navigation data, space vehicle number, and Doppler shift (+/- 10 kHz). Measure accurate CW signal output levels up to -60 dBm through a single test port connector using a simple power meter.

The IQnav is available in one- and six-channel models to support various GPS test needs. Using a six-channel model you can test Carrier to Noise (C/N) ratio and location “fix” using the single connection. Save time and get better test quality than using “over the air” GPS signals.

For CDMA equipped handset models, use IQnav's specially engineered input and output triggers for synchronization with handset testers. You'll achieve seamless testing of assisted GPS (A-GPS) handsets.

Speeds Test Times for GPS / WiFi Combo Devices Using the Popular LitePoint IQflex WLAN Tester

ImageUse IQnav as a companion to IQflex/IQview instruments to test multi-function devices that integrate GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi. IQnav easily integrates with the IQflex to perform easy and fast GPS/WiFi combo device testing.
