Transcoder™. Other applications include general-purpose highly-stable and highly-accurate
low-cost GPS simulation in a small, embedded, low-power form-factor, and retrofitting existing
systems with INS and CSAC holdover capabilities. Using the built-in optional CSAC, the RSR
GNSS Transcoder™ can be used as a simple coax-connected time-transfer device, and can even
transmit over the air as a Pseudolite Transmitter (see also the IS-GPS-250A specification).
The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ includes a complete Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc.-designed
10-channel Real-Time GPS Simulator that performs all of the computation internally in its own
hardware and thus does not require an external PC to be connected as do most competitive legacy
GPS Simulators. The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ is not simply a “dumb” record/playback device, it
rather creates an RF GPS satellite signal by simulation in hardware based on an external position and
timing fix transmitted to it via simple NMEA or SCPI English-language serial commands, or using
coordinates stored in internal NV memory.
The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ receives a PVT signal (in NMEA, or SCPI format) once per second
from an external source such as a GNSS receiver, and encodes this PVT solution in less than 0.1s into
a GPS L1 C/A code signal which is compatible to any legacy GPS receiver, including military GPS
receivers such as GB-GRAM, MicroGRAM, and DAGR. This sets it apart as competitive high-end
GPS simulators are typically not compatible with these legacy military GPS receivers due to subtle
errors in their GPS simulation software.
The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ can encode an externally-provided or internally-generated one pulse
per second (1PPS) signal with typically better than 5ns accuracy, and is thus suitable for testing and
calibration of GPSDO Timing products. The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ is also capable of locking its
internal time-base to an externally provided 1PPS reference, as well as providing a 10MHz and 1PPS
output in CMOS format generated from its internal time-base to external equipment.

PCB module (TCXO version)
The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ module includes two power supplies that may be used seperately or
simultaneously. The unit can operate from its built-in mini-USB connector (2.7V to 5.5V range with
5V nominal), or from a 7V to 36V DC power supply. The RSR GNSS Transcoder™ includes a
9-degrees-of-freedom (9-DOF) Inertial Navigation System (INS) used to interpolate
externally-provided 1Hz position fixes to 10Hz and more, and may optionally be delivered with an
