This paper, with the cooperation on Galileo Program between Europe and China as background, gives an overview of the development of test ranges for satellite navigation, proposes an implementation plan for China Galileo Test Range (CGTR), presents an analysis of CGTR and describes its overall objective, architecture, function and services, as well as operating modes. Particular analysis and study are given to the critical technologies related to CGTR implementation, including test range simulation and evaluation, time syn-chronizing and keeping, and pseudolite time division multiple access (TDMA) signal design.
