Integrating a GNSS Receiver
eBooks
Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) are becoming ever more critical capabilities in a growing array of electronic products.
Many of these products rely on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to function — from a fitness tracker that records a runner’s route to a delivery drone carrying emergency medical supplies, and from a master clock that keeps an energy grid in sync to a farming robot that waters each plant with precision.
Companies integrating GNSS receivers into products like these must be confident that the receiver will deliver the promised level of performance. That means selecting the best receiver for the product and testing it at successive stages of the product development cycle to identify and fix any issues before launch. If PNT capabilities are essential to the proper functioning of the product, this cannot be left to chance — it requires rigorous, repeatable testing, both in the lab and in the real world.
This eBook is a guide for product designers and developers on what to consider when building a test plan for an integrated GNSS receiver. It offers advice on what and how to test at each stage of the development cycle and ends with a checklist to help you build the right test plan for your product.
