Skydel Organization
Skydel uses a Software Definition Architecture (SDA) to build its GNSS simulator.
Skydel usesSoftware Definition Architecture (SDA)The GNSS simulator is built to improve overall operational efficiency and energy efficiency through software definition of system functions. The software definition architecture abstracts hardware resources so that applications can schedule and utilize hardware resources more efficiently, further improving system performance and reliability. By combining multiple modulation methods, complex signals can be designed and generated to create diverse and high simulation application scenarios, while allowing users to edit and generate runtimes in real time for complete closed-loop simulation.
Skydel can be deployed in a wide range of CPU and operating system environments, and can also be integrated with third-party hardware as a pure software solution for high flexibility and compatibility.
Skydel is supported in Windows and Ubuntu system with the help of NVIDIA GPUs Powerful high-speed mathematical processing of constellation, band, and trajectory information to produce IQ SignalThrough SDR Complete IQ signal processing and RF signal output.
