RF replay system for narrowband GNSS if signals

• Although GNSS RF signal simulators have long possessed the capability to generate scenarios they are, for example, not yet able to model a realistic scenario with complex multipath. Software defined receivers bridge the gap between simulated and real data to the extent that they may offer a replay capability, where a data set is first recorded to disk and later can be processed several times. Unfortunately, the recorded data generally can not be used by other GNSS receivers, making receiver to receiver comparisons difficult and time consuming.This paper describes a system capable of replaying recorded IF data into any narrow bandwidth L1 GNSS receiver, including an evaluation of the difference (position, timing and SNR) between live and replayed data using a high sensitivity, consumer grade receiver. The performance of the replayed data set was found to match that of the live data.
