1. Introduction

Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) recently renamed as NavIC (Navigation with Indian

Constellation) is ISRO's initiative to build an independent satellite navigation system based on a constellation of GEO

and GSO satellites. NavIC has three main segments, namely the space segment, the ground segment and the user

segment. The satellites are placed in two different orbital planes; Geo-stationary orbit (GEO) and Geo-synchronous

orbit (GSO) with an inclination of 29o. Seven NavIC Satellites has been launched and are operational. The space

segment is continuously monitored, controlled and managed by the ground segment. In future, four more satellites are

planned to be added in the constellation making total NavIC Constellation of 11 satellites. NavIC offers two types of

services simultaneously:

1. NavIC SPS: NavIC SPS is a civilian service and its ICD is available in public domain

(http://irnss.isro.gov.in/). SPS signal structure will be same for 11 satellites.

2. NavIC RS service. There are two types of RS signal options for all 11 satellites (ICD will be provided at the

time of PO with NDA).

i. long ranging code with associated navigation data structure.

ii. Short ranging code with associated navigation data structure.

The RS services for each satellite can be configured to transmit any of the of the above mentioned RS options.

These configuration settings are independent for each satellite.

Any navigational receiver development and testing requires emulated satellite signals i.e. a signal simulator.

This simulator will be used to test NavIC plus GPS receiver for its independent (standalone NavIC/GPS Mode) and

combined constellation (NavIC + GPS) mode performance. From here onwards, the NavIC (SPS and RS (short

and long)), GPS Signal Simulator and SBAS with GAGAN will be referred as “The Simulator”. This document is prepared for inviting the proposals from the industry for the development of the NavIC (SPS

and RS (short and long)) & GPS Signal Simulators necessary for the mass development of receiver under IRNSS

project. The vendors are required to provide the proposals for development and realization of “The Simulator”. This

document provides primary level details and nominal specifications of “The Simulator”. It is mandatory for the

vendor to provide the complete architecture/configuration of “The Simulator” and a detailed plan of development,

which will meet the NavIC (SPS and RS (short and long)) & GPS Signal Simulator specifications. The proposal is

invited from vendors for NavIC SPS & NavIC RS Service (short and long), GPS C/A and SBAS.
