Abstract:In order to achieve the automatic test of navigation receivers with the requirements of rapid and accurate testing satellite navigation receiver performance, this paper builds a navigation receiver automation test system, which based on satellite signal simulator, virtual instruments and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 as a software developer, and National Instruments PXI hardware platform. System has realized the position precision, cold start time to first fix, hot start time to first fix, capture sensitivity and the velocity precision of navigation receiver parallel automatic test. The extensive test results of Beidou navigation receivers show the automation test system is fast and effective for navigation receiver performance test.
