NavX® - NCS Professional

The NavX®-NCS Professional is the new state-of-the-art in RF signal generator technology for GNSS constellation simulation. With its flexibility and scalability, the 'Professional' is a future-proof investment for the coming multi-GNSS era!

Overview

The NavX®-NCS Professional was designed to fully meet the multi-GNSS RF research and development testing requirements. Multi-GNSS is driven by many satellite signals with different modulations at different frequencies in the upper or lower L-band, all mastered by the NavX®-NCS Professional.

Due to its superior technology, the outstanding performance features of the NavX®-NCS Professional are beyond the capabilities of any other signal generator on the market today.

Benefits

Best 'Performance-in-a-Box':

With up to 108 signal channels the current multi-GNSS receivers (with up to 72 channels) can be tested with just one 'Professional'. You avoid the extra effort and cost of using additional signal generators. Even receivers with 216 channels can be covered by just two 'Professionals'.


Best 'Capability-per-Box':

The capability to generate all GNSS signals by combining the different modulations with the up to 9 L-band frequencies is the only existing solution on the market providing GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS and SBAS in one box at the same time. Compare!


Unmatched 'Flexibility-by-Design':

The user selectable combination of 'performance' (signal channels) and 'capability' (modulation & frequency) is real value you get from NCS.


'Plug-In Scalability' and 'Extendability-by-License':

Fully scalable from a GPS L1 12 channels system up to a full multi GNSS system with 108 channels and 9 frequencies. With this flexible approach, channels and capabilities can be added to the base system when the user has additional testing needs. One step after another.
