Keysight PNTX000A PNT X CRPA Test System
CRPA wavefront simulation
- Multiple PNT X signal generators combine via an external RF combiner matrix to deliver calibrated, phase-aligned RF signals to each element of a multi-element CRPA under test
- Each signal generator provides up to 640 independent channels across 10 software-defined radio (SDR) cards - multi-chassis configurations scale to support CRPA systems from 2
The PNT X CRPA Test System is a complete COTS solution that combines multiple PNT X signal generators, an RF combiner matrix, and the SimGEN software suite to generate phase-aligned global navigation satellite system (GNSS) wavefronts for conducted and over-the-air testing of controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) systems - including beamforming, null steering, and space-time adaptive processing (STAP) evaluation.
CRPAs require rigorous testing for mission-critical applications. Accurate evaluation demands precise GNSS signal generation, phase alignment, and dynamic high-density jamming and spoofing threat representation. Comprehensive testing validates performance in extreme corner cases, accelerates development, and ensures systems can be trusted in operational environments.
