AWJ-TEST is a portable GNSS RF test platform for evaluating CRPA and adaptive anti-jam antenna systems. It gives antenna developers, system integrators and resilient-PNT teams a practical way to exercise anti-jamming performance during development and integration — without making “CRPA” the only route by which customers can find the technology.
GNSS constellation simulators — including software-defined platforms combined with vector signal generators — generate defined, repeatable interference scenarios. That is exactly what makes them excellent for satellite signal fidelity testing, and exactly what makes them insufficient for CRPA algorithm stress-testing.
Convergence-window exhaustion, covariance stationarity assumptions, AGC hunting — none of these vulnerabilities are exposed by a defined CW tone or AWGN source from a known direction. Static CW and other defined interference cases are commonly used to establish baseline anti-jam performance.
If your CRPA was validated using a constellation simulator's built-in interference generator, you know how it performs against a defined threat. AWJ-TEST is intended to explore behaviour under changing, non-stationary interference conditions. Adaptive arrays have finite update and convergence behaviour. AWJ-TEST is intended to help engineering teams investigate that behaviour under repeatable changing conditions.
Both AWJ-TEST variants share the same five confirmed waveform profiles. Each targets a distinct vulnerability in CRPA adaptive processing — deployable from a rugged case system or a pocket-sized machined aluminium unit.
1× AWSG Field + 2× AWSG Compact creates a 6-channel distributed GNSS waveform generation capability. Four simultaneous modes from the Field unit plus one mode each from the Compact units at different spatial positions — each Compact pre-configured via laptop before deployment, operated standalone in the field.
Combine the four-channel AWSG Field system with one or more AWSG Compact units for distributed CRPA and anti-jam development testing across multiple spatial positions.
Constellation simulators — whether software-defined with vector signal generator outputs, or wavefront systems — validate CRPA performance against known, defined interference. AWJ-TEST adds configurable non-stationary waveform profiles intended to complement the defined scenarios available in established GNSS test systems. The two are complementary. A layered CRPA test programme can use both approaches at different stages of development and validation.

If you are using a software-defined GNSS simulator with a vector signal generator for CRPA testing, AWSG addresses the one scenario your existing setup cannot replicate — non-stationary, convergence-time-attacking waveform profiles from a portable, field-deployable unit. Most CRPA test programmes require both. AWJ-TEST is intended to complement that existing laboratory capability.
AWJ-TEST is currently in final development. We are gauging market interest ahead of production commitment. Early enquiries will be prioritised for first-batch allocation.
All enquiries are handled directly by K9 Electronics technical staff. An NDA can be executed prior to detailed technical discussion.
