GSS6450 Multi-frequency Record & Playback System
The GSS6450 from Spirent takes RF record & playback systems to a whole new level of performance and flexibility. Battery powered and housed in a small and portable case, the GSS6450 can record any RF in the 80MHz-6,000MHz frequency range—including any cur

What the GSS6450 does


With the Spirent GSS6450 RPS, it’s simple and quick to capture GNSS & other RF signals as they are received for subsequent use in a laboratory test environment. 

The GSS6450 RPS digitises and stores the RF signals from the real RF environment. These recordings are then made available for subsequent playback, faithfully reproducing propagation effects such as multipath, fading, obscuration and interference to allow testing of GNSS chipsets, receivers and systems under realistic conditions. You save project, travel and engineering costs while improving product performance, quality and time to market. 

The flexibility of the GSS6450 to record multiple frequency bands concurrently means the RPS can be used to test multi-GNSS chipsets and devices in wireless, cellular, automotive, navigation, aerospace, and defence and survey applications. The user can select different bit depths depending on their application and storage requirements. The GSS6450 RF RPS includes three RF I/O ports. RF1 has optimised filtering for the recording and playback of GNSS signals, while RF2 and RF3 offer wider bandwidth to cover Cellular and Wideband signals respectively. 

For interference and jamming testing in-built Spectrum Analysis software is available

l  Output of raw I/Q data on Aux port (Two most significant bits of each channel).


CANbus


l  Two in built-High-Speed CAN interfaces which allow CAN bus data to be recorded as synchronous data without the need for an external interface unit.

n  The CAN interface is a passive device which records the signal levels seen on the CAN bus. It does not provide bus acknowledgements etc. When replaying CAN Data onto a CAN bus with other transmitting nodes, the GSS6450 will transmit data even if another node is already transmitting causing corruption of data on the CAN bus. It is not recommended to replay CAN data onto a vehicle or any other CAN Bus in a safety critical application.

l  With the (optional) PCAN Router FD two CAN FD or High-Speed CAN busses can be recorded, and played back, synchronously with the RF data.

n  Input or output CAN messages can be filtered.
