PNT Xe Simulation System

PNT Xe is a compact, rack-mountable GNSS simulator with multi-constellation support and guided-workflow software for development and production testing.

Emulation options Frequency bands: L1, L2, L5, L6; Up to 2 bands concurrently
Modular design Up to 2 software-defined radio (SDR) cards; 1RF output

Extend Trusted GNSS Simulation to More Users and Project Phases

Teams across development, production, and field operations need consistent, repeatable global navigation satellite system (GNSS) test results — but high-end simulation platforms can be complex and costly to deploy at scale. Keysight Essential PNT Emulator Hardware addresses this gap with a cost-effective, compact, rack-mountable simulator built on software-defined radio (SDR) technology. It supports multi-constellation, dual-frequency signals across GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, and SBAS — with guided-workflow software that simplifies scenario creation and reduces operator error. In-field upgrade paths let teams add capacity and constellations as requirements grow.

Multi-Constellation Coverage

Simulate GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, and SBAS signals across dual-frequency bands from a single RF output.

Guided-Workflow Software

Set up scenarios with minimal training using built-in constellation and navigation modeling, reducing the learning curve and risk of human error.

Development to Production

Deploy across functional testing, performance evaluation, and production-line validation with a compact 2U form factor suited to lab and field environments.

In-Field Scalability

Add a second SDR card or enable additional constellations and signal capabilities through software feature keys — without returning the unit for service.

Modular design Up to 2 software-defined radio (SDR) cards; 1RF output
Emulation options Frequency bands: L1, L2, L5, L6; Up to 2 bands concurrently
