Summary
Tool Name
CRPA Modeling and Simulation
Short Description

CAST GPS Wavefront Simulator creates a coherent wavefront of GPS RF.  The purpose of the CAST 5000 is to perform high dynamic laboratory testing of GPS devices that have multiple antenna elements.  Standard system is a twelve (12) satellite constellation (L1, L2, P-Code and AESM {M-Code}) and comes with capability to test seven elements.  The RF for each element is adjusted by a lever arm correction corresponding to the elements position on the antenna.  System is delivered in a custom rack chassis with an uninterruptible power supply, power conditioner, flat screen monitor, and keyboard.  The CAST-DLL for remote control and a master control computer are included. Interference Generator Option required for CRPA testing.

Pending supported GNSS signals: Galileo, Beidou.

Pending supported frequencies: E1/L1, E5a, E5b, E6.
