A new option for the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator together with test automation software delivers standard-compliant, fully automated performance tests for the GNSS receiver integrated in the eCall module

The GNSS receiver integrated into the eCall module typically evaluates signals from GPS, Galileo and satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) to determine the vehicle position. In an emergency, the module automatically places a call to the nearest emergency call center and transmits vehicle position data and other information via a cellular link. To make sure the accuracy of the reported position as well as a number of other performance parameters are within certain limits, the built-in GNSS receiver has to be tested against the criteria defined in the EU2017/79, Annex VI and UNECE 2016/07 specifications.

The SMBV100A in combination with the SMBV-K361 option and the CMWrun sequencer software is the ideal tool for performing fully automated GNSS performance tests on eCall modules in line with the EU2017/79, Annex VI and UNECE 2016/07 specifications. All test cases specified in these documents can be configured, scheduled and conducted automatically with this system. It enables users to quickly and easily verify the positioning capabilities of their eCall modules and to tremendously simplify and accelerate the certification process.

With this new GNSS performance test system for eCall modules, Rohde & Schwarz offers a complete portfolio of standard-compliant conformance and performance test systems for both eCall and ERA-GLONASS based on the CMW500 and SMBV100A.
