Measured Effects of a Narrowband Interference Suppressor on GPS Receivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Narrowband and partial-band interference can severely degrade the performance of GPS receivers. The use of digital signal processing in a receiver has been shown to provide protection against this type of interference in communications systems and has been proposed for application in future GPS systems. This paper discusses the measured effects of narrowband interference suppression on GPS receiver performance. Emphasis is placed on its effects on pseudorange measurements, since navigation accuracy is ultimately the measure of interest to the user. Performance metrics presented include: the GPS receiver input carrier-to-noise ratio, receiver crosscorrelation function, and pseudorange errors. The results demonstrate that substantial interference suppression can be attained with modest navigation accuracy degradation by incorporating narrowband interference suppression technology into GPS receivers.

The Case for Narrowband Receivers
Most high performance GPS receivers today are wideband. In most cases, they require the wider precorrelation bandwidth for enhanced multipath mitigation capability. Wideband receivers, however, are still significantly more susceptible to electromagnetic interference. In addition, they are more likely to produce unacceptably large pseudorange errors in the presence of satellite signal anomalies,...
متن کاملMultipath Mitigation for Narrowband Receivers
Narrowband receivers are more robust to narrowband interference and to GPS signal faults, but they tend to have relatively poor multipath performance. Few current techniques are capable of mitigating multipath in these receivers. The Tracking Error Compensator (TrEC) however operates independent of the receiver’s precorrelation bandwidth (PCB) using the concept of Multipath Invariance (MPI). Th...

Narrowband interference can severely degrade the performance of GPS receivers. Detecting the presence of interference and then characterizing it can lead to its removal. Receivers can be reconfigured to focus on other signals or satellites that are less vulnerable to that interference at that moment. Using hardware reconfigurability of FPGA receivers and characterizing the effect of narrowband ...
متن کاملA Novel Interference Rejection Method for GPS Receivers
This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...
متن کاملNarrowband Interference Suppression Performance of Multi-Correlation Differential Detection
Radio frequency interference (RFI) is one of the foremost concerns in safety critical applications that utilize GPS. RFI sources either intentional or unintentional at the vicinity of the victim receiver can potentially mask the weak GPS signals. Most commercial receivers are equipped with no or basic level of protection against in-band RFI. Acquisition under strong RFI is more difficult as the...
