A GNSS hostile environment simulator for accurate real-time processor & hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulations of a multiple antenna GNSSR/AJ system models antenna effects over the entire signal bandwidth allowing direct injection of the RF into the GNSSR. Computational efficiency is achieved by applying the antenna patterns in the frequency domain. To preserve the integrity of the antenna signals, the transmitter signals are generated over an extended period to push any residual ringing outside the update window. Efficiency is further enhanced by using a combination of single-precision and double-precision floating-point units to generate the samples of the transmitter signals with single-precision floating-point. All subsequent calculations are then computed in single-precision.
