During performance testing, it is verified whether the GNSS receiver of an ERA-Glonass emergency call system fulfills the accuracy requirements in line with the specification.
In case of an emergency, the IVS should not only correctly transmit position data according to a specified protocol to the public safety answering point (PSAP), but position data must also be accurate so that the first responder can locate the accident vehicle quickly. Performance tests are now a part of the certification, in addition to the existing conformance tests.
ERA-Glonass module manufacturers and also test houses can use the R&S SMBV100A during pretests to create reliable and reproducible conditions similar to those in official certification tests. This allows minimising the risk of failing tests during certification.
