Compliance: Using an Antenna

Safran’s GSGA GNSS Signal Generator is a device that is able to create simulated satellite signals and generate real RF signals by first producing I/Q data and calculating the orbits of satellites at a user-defined time, location and trajectory. GNSSGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS): A general term describing any satellite constellation that provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis. See also Simulator products meet all required regulations of the FCC and CE Mark for operation as electronic test equipment. However, when using the GSG signal generator with an RF antenna (instead of an RF cable), additional regulations controlling the radiation of GPS-like signals into the air must be taken into account by the user:

In the USA, the GPSGlobal Positioning System is a navigation satellite system. See also spectrum is controlled by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA): See Sections 8.3.28 and 8.3.29 of the Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/redbook/redbook.html

Depending on your situation, you may need authorization from the FCC to operate at or near the level allowed by the NTIA. A Special Temporary Authorization (STA) or Experimental License may be required. For more information, see the FCC web site: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/index.cfm

Countries other than the USA may have their own regulations or restrictions, which you should be aware of and comply with before using the optional antenna.
