http://g.co/gtac Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zKnH9LrsPTtinqWzJg9GpZv5sXaMF8rd314irYvPtH4/pub Andrew Knodt (Lockheed Martin) The existing GPS monitoring stations used by the Air Force have become difficult to maintain and an effort is underway to replace them with a GPU accelerated Software Defined Radio (SDR) approach. An overview of the unique testing challenges of this specialized GPS receiver along with an examination of several testing approaches will be presented. While focused on a GPS application, these testing approaches could easily be applied to other production level SDR efforts.
