Averna Markets 3 x 50 MHz Wideband Record And Playback For Precision GNSS
URT 5.2 geared for mapping, agriculture, and earthworks applications, as well as XM radio signal testing
Averna, premier test solution provider to communications and electronics device-makers, has released the URT 5.2 test platform, which includes the first commercially available 3x50 MHz Wideband Record & Playback solution targeting precision GNSS markets such as survey, agriculture, and earthworks.
URT 5.2 also comprises a new XM Multi-Beam Toolkit for Manufacturing and Software Validation for car radio manufacturers, with certification pending from SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. Averna's URT is the recipient of a 2010 Best in Test award.
Key new features:
3x50 MHz Wideband Record & Playback for mapping, agriculture, and earthworks applications
Precision GNSS technology leaders must develop extremely accurate GPS devices so that surveying, construction, and farming equipment can be tightly controlled, sometimes in demanding environmental conditions, while operating for longer hours. New wideband capabilities of up to 150 MHz in the Averna RF Signal Record & Playback can now help GPS developers capture the entire spectrum of GPS L1, L2, L5 and GLONASS L1, L2, L3 signals in the field, with a view to building more comprehensive test libraries to fine-tune their devices against real world signals—in the lab.
XM Multi-Beam Toolkit for Manufacturing and Software Validation (Certification Pending)
Car radio manufacturers need to lock onto XM band frequency ranges to efficiently validate XM receivers in the lab. Using this Averna URT radio toolkit to simulate 4 satellites and 2 terrestrial beams, they will be able to validate their devices with confidence, in design and in production.
Other features and enhancements in URT 5.2 include improved Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Google Earth KML file format support in the Averna Record & Playback, as well as HD Radio In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) signal-generation capabilities for the new E1 file format from iBiquity Digital Corporation.
