As the leading test equipment vendor for minimum performance Location Based Services, Rohde & Schwarz supports 3GPP, OMA, CTIA and carrier acceptance Location Based Services test plans. Rohde & Schwarz is also the leading test equipment in a number of validations in both GCF and PTCRB databases. The GNSS signal simulators R&S®SMW200A and R&S®SMBV100B support GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS and BDS, including multi-frequency. The following are only a few examples of Rohde & Schwarz test solutions addressing the Location Based Services industry:

  • A-GNSS (GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BDS).
  • LPPe and LPP-Rel13 (WiFi, Bluetooth, Barometric )
  • GCF and PTCRB certified
  • RTK/PPP
  • CTIA-compliant OTA test systems (R&S®TS8991).
  • V2V / V2X
  • 2G, 3G, 4G
  • Network Operator test plans
  • LPPe and LPP-Rel13 (WiFi, Bluetooth)

This Test type approval test system TS-LBS can be used starting from R&D up to validation of user devices and used by:

  • Chipset manufacturers
  • Mobile manufacturers
  • Test Houses
  • Network Operators

Role in the project

Rohde & Schwarz has a large experience of cooperation with all the partners for testing the most telematics and antenna products equipped on vehicles.

Rohde & Schwarz will provide the proper RF test equipment and lab environment for the antenna plus GNSS high-precision receiver testing and validation for the different frequencies L1/E1, L5/E5, and E6 and GNSS signals.

Rohde & Schwarz will analyse the effect of the different antenna designs in the reference high precision receivers (RTK & PPP) and will evaluate the system performance (antenna + receiver) in a controlled conducted and OTA environment.

The developed tools by Rohde will improve quality, performance, and reliability.
