Skydel Anechoic

Skydel Anechoic allows users to accurately simulate real-world GNSS environments in their Anechoic Chambers. Skydel Anechoic has 32 individual RF outputs enabling the system to drive 16 dual-frequency antennas. Revolutionary features like automatic antenna mapping, automatic time delay calibration, and automatic power loss calibration are what make Skydel Anechoic the most advanced Anechoic Chamber simulator on the market today.

Skydel Anechoic allows users to accurately simulate real-world GNSS environments in their Anechoic Chambers. Skydel Anechoic has 32 individual RF outputs enabling the system to drive 16 dual-frequency antennas. Revolutionary features like automatic antenna mapping, automatic time delay calibration, and automatic power loss calibration are what make Skydel Anechoic the most advanced Anechoic Chamber simulator on the market today.

Skydel Anechoic was designed from the ground up for the user, by users. An easy to use software environment and thoughtful hardware supports engineers during all phases of their testing. The built-in spectrum analyzer can be connected to any one of the 16 RF output chains through a quick connect RF connector, allowing the user to verify the signals going to the antenna. The 48dB transmit chain amplifier and 80dB transmit chain dial attenuator allow for complete signal control and high dynamic range. The Skydel Anechoic System cuts calibration times from days to minutes. All aspects of the Skydel Anechoic system were made to enable better, faster, and lower cost testing.

 

Scalable Software-Defined Architecture

GSG Anechoic takes advantage of state-of-the-art software defined radios (SDR) for RF up-converting while signal IQ generation uses high performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) graphics-processing units (GPU). The ability to generate the IQ data in software (using the GPU) as opposed to hardware (FPGA) significantly reduces the cost while maximizing capability, value and time to market.
