Abstract
A method for testing satellite signal receiver antenna is provided. The method includes: determining a satellite constellation state indicating status of a plurality of satellites in a satellite constellation; calculating, based on the determined satellite constellation state, initial positions of a plurality of satellite antennas that are used for emulating the satellite constellation; moving the plurality of satellite antennas to the initial positions of the plurality of satellite antennas; calibrating a phase delay of each of the plurality of satellite antennas; broadcasting, by the plurality of satellite antennas, satellite signals to test a satellite signal receiver antenna; determining a movement plan for the plurality of satellite antennas based on the satellite constellation state; and moving the plurality of satellite antennas based on the movement plan to emulate a propagation of the satellite constellation.
