Datasheet with Product Specification MS10000 Issue 1-06 February 2025Spirent PNT X4 | spirent.comPNT X OverviewSpirent PNT X is a revolutionary simulation system that addresses the increasing complexity of the PNT environment. This all-in-one solution generates all GNSS constellations, RF threats, and signals of opportunity available for comprehensive test coverageand high realism. In an era when compromising on PNT performance is not an option, PNT X delivers new patented capabilities,simplified software for configuring complex test scenarios, and critical simulation integrity to ensure trustworthy results.PNT X is the 6th generation of Spirent’s GNSS and PNT simulators. It’s flexible software-defined hardware architecture comprisesa signal generator and a dedicated C50 X host controller running Spirent’s SimGEN™ software (Figure 1).Figure 1: PNT X Simulation SystemPNT X Signal GeneratorThe PNT X signal generator can be configured with up to 10 SDR cards1 generating up to 640 independent signals in total. EachSDR card comes with 64 channels enabled and is capable of supporting any number of licenced GNSS constellations within thesame frequency band. The configuration of constellations and frequencies per SDR card is fixed for the duration of the scenario.The PNT X signal generator has the following RF outputs: 2 combined RF outputs at the front panel for GNSS nominal power levels. 10 individual RF outputs (each of them connected to a SDR card) at the front panel for single channel applications 2. 2 combined RF outputs at the rear panel for high power levels (50 dBs above nominal).By means of an output block, the SDR cards are linked to the combined RF outputs. By default, this combination is achieved byallocating up to 5 SDR cards behind RF1 and up to 5 SDR cards behind RF2. For single antenna applications, all 10 SDR cardscan be combined into a single RF output on the front pannel connecting the loopback cable provided with the signal generator.The inherent flexibility of the hardware architecture also allows for an optional arrangement of SDR cards with up to 8 behind RF1and up to 2 behind RF2. Applications for this configuration include dual-frequency embedded interference or GNSS + LEO3.C50 X Host ControllerThe signal generator is controlled by a dedicated, rack-mountable C50 X host controller, which is a Spirent proprietary design,multi-processor/core system, configured with a mixed Operating System (OS) environment (Debian 11 Linux and Windows® 10LTSC IOT 2021 [Virtualisation Only]). This combination of processing power and dual OS provides the perfect platform to enablePNT X new bench-mark performance levels, and to support Spirent’s SimGEN scenario definition and simulation control softwareapplication.PNT X integrates a diverse technology stack that leverages the right technology for every application. The C50 X incorporates theindustry-proven purpose-designed FPGA-based SDR architecture used for GNSS signal generation as well as a NVIDIA® GPU.1 A “SDR card” consists of a digital signal generator and an RF upconverter.2 Please, contact Spirent for multichannel applications3 Default configuration of L-band + S-band systems is also 8:2 (up to 8 SDR cards for L-band and up to 2 for S-band).

7 | spirent.comUltimate Performance, Realism, Flexibility and SimplicityPNT X is Spirent’s sixth generation PNT simulation system. This pioneering test platform has been designed to protect systemsin the harshest RF environments. It simplifies comprehensive testing, delivering deterministic results from mission-criticalscenarios. With unrivaled flexibility and the highest fidelity, PNT X brings together more signals from more sources under oneplatform, reducing lab footprint while maintaining optimal results.Signal performance specification is met under ALL operating conditions, including the full range of ultra-high dynamics.Full GNSS SupportWhether testing multi-frequency or multi-constellation receivers, PNT X offers the most comprehensive GNSS test solution,including global and regional systems, open and secure signals, with up-to-date ICDs. All open GNSS signals can be upconvertedto RF or recorded into I/Q files for software receiver testing by means of SimIQ Capture (see MS3108).PNT X can generate up to 4 embedded multipath channels per satellite signal source. These multipath channels are delayed andattenuated copies of the primary channel and are applied to the first 16 channels of each SDR radio card9. The delay andattenuation of each path is user-specified. This includes real-time modification of the individual embedded multipath channels interms of power level (up to -60 dB) and code delay (up to 4000 m) through a remote interface.2kHz System Iteration RateDue to its standard 2 kHz update rate, PNT X faithfully reproduces true motion for high-dynamics vehicles in RF. This capabilityis particularly important in cases where rapid acceleration and high-jerk dynamics are essential characteristics of the vehicle undertest, such as missiles, space shuttles and drones. A faster update rate also reduces latency for HIL test environments (2 ms in allscenario configurations) - enabling trajectory and motion data from third-party hardware and software systems to be processedfaster and more precisely.Enhanced Spinning Model10: PNT X features an optional mode for fast spinning vehicles that increases the update rate to 100kHz along the spinning axis to account for high pseudorange variations due to the angular dynamics at a given level armdistance11,12.Remote Control - HILEither via Ethernet, GPIB or SCRAMNet, PNT X can be remotely accessed and controlled via SimREMOTE (see MS3015)13.SimREMOTE includes a comprehensive suite of commands for: Simulation control: such as selecting scenarios, start/stop and run-time control. Signal modification: finite manipulation of signal phase, delay and Doppler plus enabling/disabling of codes/data. Trajectory delivery: 6DOF trajectory delivery in real-time or from a file up to 2000Hz update rate.gRPC: In addition, a gRPC schema is provided to automatically generate idiomatic clients for SimGEN service in a variety oflanguages and platforms, including C++, Java and Python.Spyder: SimGEN installation also comes by default with Spyder, an open-source Python development environment. Combined with pre-loaded gRPCschema, users can now write their own scripts, applications and software add-ons in order to schedule tests, control the scenario execution and managesimulation data. Post-process SimGEN logging data using Python libraries. Accelerate the development of simulation software tools. Define self-explanatory test flows and share results with Jupiter Notebooks.Secure by DesignPNT X has been designed with security at the front of mind. Consequently, it addresses general CAT I and CAT II STIGrequirements as well as some CAT III vulnerabilities such as secure boot capabilities. The system is equipped with a TPM 2.0(ISO/IEC 11889) chip on the motherboard, ensuring futureproofing for more demanding implementations of the STIG compliance.PNT X can be also equipped with an optional self-encrypting FIPS-compliant SSD for users who need an extra layer of protectionto their data at rest. In that case, for each C50 X a passphrase must be entered and validated before the controller boots to unlockthe drive via terminal access.9 Embedded multipath is a SimGEN default feature independent from other multipath solutions such as 3D or statistical models. This feature iscompatible with SimIQ, allowing the generation of RF from 32 primary channels + 48 multipath channels + I/Q.10 Access to this feature is restricted and can only be supplied under a UK Export License.11 In this mode of operation, each SDR card can generate up to 8 channels.12 Compatible with all open GNSS signals. Please, contant Spirent for information related to authorised signal support.13 SimREMOTE implementation in PNT X is backwards compatible with all Spirent portfolio SimREMOTE scripts and applications.
Datasheet with Product Specification MS10000 Issue 1-06 February 2025Spirent PNT X8 | spirent.comRealistic Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) TestingPNT X stands out as the ultimate PNT simulation platform, offering state-of-the-art simulation technology and intuitive controls forseamless evaluation of NAVWAR scenarios. Via SimGEN, users can replicate complex threat scenarios with high precision, eitherusing embedded controls for signal definition or with user-supplied I/Q data.Terrain ModellingPNT X offers a unique approach to simulating real-time multipath and obscuration effects based on an embedded syntheticenvironment and an advanced GNSS propagation model. This model relies on a 3D scene, which is used to generate the multipathand obscuration signature relative to the location of the receiver’s antenna14. The intuitive 3D visualization not only simplifies theconfiguration of complex settings but also facilitates the inclusion of elements like jammers, spoofers, and repeaters, providing acomprehensive and user-friendly solution for advanced scenario modelling.This 3D realism is applicable to any signals generated within the system, including all GNSS constellations and frequencies,jamming, spoofing, LEO and I/Q-defined transmitters.Figure 3: SimGEN running a 3D scenario in White Sands with 2 interference transmittersStatistical Multipath: In addition to the 3D multipath capabilities, SimGEN supports different models for multipath signals thatcan be applied to 1 or more echoes of the LoS. They range from basic statistical (sinusoidal multipath and fifth-order polynomialand Legendre multipath) and offset models (range, power or doppler offset) to more complex simulation models to represent theground reflections (including range and angle of arrival computations), signal reflections from building surfaces in an urbanenvironment (vertical plane) or the use of predefined echoes that change depending on the vehicle’s motion (reflection patternand land mobile multipath).JammingThe embedded interference option allows users to natively generate L-band interference alongside GNSS signals. A wide rangeof signal types and options is supported, including CW, FM, AM, PM, wideband AWGN, BPSK, CW pulses, chirp and matchedspectrum (see Table 3 for further information on the signal types supported and the definition parameters).SimIQ Replay Interference: PNT X allows the generation of high-power custom waveform interference from user supplied I/Qfiles, alongside standard SimGEN GNSS signals, using the 2RF interference-capable architecture. Via this feature key, SimGENallows the definition of transmitters objects that can be associated with the replayed I/Q file, using I/Q Spatial Awareness forenhanced realism (see MS3108).External Interference Simulator: PNT X can be also combined with Spirent’s external interference simulator, the GSS7765, tooffer a comprehensive solution for testing satellite navigation equipment in the presence of intentional or unintentional RFinterference. The GSS7765 offers a very broad range of interfering signal options, which may be used to represent a varied arrayof threat sources. The interference signals available include Continuous Wave (CW), AM and FM (pulsed signals also available).The interference simulator also supports noise generation with variable bandwidth. The seamless integration with PNT X offersfull support for SimGEN scenarios and control over the interference signal content and dynamics (see MS3055).SpoofingWith PNT X users can evaluate the spoofing risks associated with safety and liability-critical systems. The optional spoofing featurecovers cases such as meaconing, code/carrier attacks, navigation data attacks, application-level spoofing and multi-method14 3D visualisation and obscuration effects are part of SimGEN baseline package. Real-time multipath generation based on a 3D model is anoptional feature that uses an internal GPU to calculate these effects in real-time.
9 | spirent.comattacks. It can simulate up to 4 independent spoofers in a given scenario, allowing user definition of the following parameters foreach spoofer: Number of transmitters (up to 64) and their dynamics. Power level model. False vehicle position (spoofed position). Spoofing signal content selection, including navigation data and errors. Independent and uncorrelated noise patterns with a fixed 90 MHz (3 dB bandwidth) noise source to simulate the uniquewideband thermal noise of each transmitter15.The resulting spoofer RF signal is automatically calculated by SimGEN based on user scenario settings, with the correct spoofersignal arrival angle and content. Spoofing is supported on the four GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou),QZSS and IRNSS16,17, provided that the appropriate constellation feature licence keys are present on PNT X.I/Q Spatial AwarenessI/Q spatial awareness is an optional software feature of PNT X that introduces a newly-patented method for modelling I/Q-basedsignals. After the definition of transmitter objects for the I/Q files in SimGEN scenario, I/Q spatial awareness applies thecorresponding attenuation to power levels, Doppler offsets and signal delays based on the distance from the I/Q-based transmitterto the antenna. This capability superimposes the realism of receiver antenna dynamics into I/Q data, making I/Q a valid alternativefor high-dynamic spoofing and interference scenarios18.True PNT TestingThe PNT industry is transitioning from its traditional reliance on GNSS L-band-only applications to adopting a more expansiveapproach that incorporates a broader spectrum of signals. This evolution is driven by the need for enhanced accuracy, reliability,and resilience as well as new PNT applications such as lunar navigation. For this reason, PNT X moves beyond GNSS and L-band to support the generation of alternative PNT signals alongside traditional GNSS from a single chassis, reducing the systemcomplexity and cost, and providing an all-in-one solution for these applications.LEO PNTPNT X incorporates native ultra-accurate LEO satellite dynamic models 19, considering user-defined parameters such asatmospheric drag, satellite mass, and surface area. These models provide precise trajectories in LEO, applicable to vehiclesunder test, as an extension to SimGEN native spacecraft model, and full constellations with hundreds of satellites. Created inpartnership with spaceborn receiver developer SpacePNT, the PNT X embedded LEO library provides real-time orbital informationwithin SimGEN.SimXona: SimXona enables the native generation of Xona Pulsar demonstration and production signals. The real-time generationof Xona orbits and signal content allow for its definition in conjunction with GNSS using a single SimGEN scenario (see MS3120).Custom Waveform DefinitionPNT X is built upon a flexible hardware architecture that allows the generation of user-definded RF signals. Custom waveforms,noise, interference or non-current ICD SIS can be easily generated at RF using the flexible signal simulation feature or directlyinjected using I/Q files.FLEX: The flexible signal simulation comprises built-in and user-configurable control and set-up of non-current SIS ICD PRNcodes, navigation data content, navigation data rate, chipping rate, edge shaping, and modulation types, as shown in Table 4. Asingle PNT X can accommodate up to 16 FLEX signal transmitters or SVs20, each comprising a primary and secondary code.SimIQ Replay: SimIQ Replay allows the generation of user-defined RF signals from I/Q. With this optional feature, PNT X cangenerate RF from up to 3 simultaneous L-band or S-band I/Q files, allowing sample rates up to 60 Msps and up to 16-bit bitdepth.This feature is also compatible with I/Q spatial awareness (see MS3108).S-bandIntroducing new internal SDR cards specifically designed for S-band signals. Native S-band RF generation is now possible forregional GNSS constellations, LEO and novel PNT applications. This solution is compatible with SimIQ Replay, supporting staticand dynamic I/Q-based transmitters enhanced with Spatial Awareness and terrain modelling.S-band signals are generated using a separate RF output on the PNT X, allowing a maximum of 2 SDR cards per signal generator.15 Up to 4 noise patterns per SDR card.16 GPS: L1, L2, L5. BD: B1i, B2i, B2a, B1c, B3i, B2b. GAL: E1, E5, E6. GLO: F1, F2, C1, C2, C3. QZSS: L1, L2, L5, L6.

Datasheet with Product Specification MS10000 Issue 1-06 February 2025Spirent PNT X16 | spirent.comPerformance in Multi-Chassis ConfigurationsThere is a practical limit to how much data can be reliably processed by the simulation engine at the designated simulation iterationrate. There are many factors that can influence the processing capacity of the simulation system, but in practical terms the mainsources are:1. The total number of active SDR cards (influenced by the number of antenna outputs in the configuration and the selectedsignal types).2. The total number of satellite signals (channel density).3. The volume of data logging enabled.The variety of permutations from these contributing factors is extremely difficult to fully characterise. Instead, Spirent providesguidance based on previously explored cases in order to set a reasonable expectation of the performance that can be achieved.For a system with a capability of 256 channels or greater: The simulation iteration rate is recommended to be 100Hz. SimGEN “truth” data logging capability, during real-time scenario run, should be limited to bulk logging in binary formator data-streaming UDP or nav data binary dump. If high rate bulked log data is required, then two scenario runs can be employed. The first run in turbo mode to bulk logthe data and the second run in real time without logging data.If these operating criteria present a challenge to the intended test application, and for systems of more than 256 channels, Spirentis pleased to discuss the challenges of each user case and to determine whether an alternative system architecture might besuitable in those circumstances, via a Tailored Solution.
