Interference and Multipath Suppression with Space Time Adaptive Beamforming for Safety-of-Life Maritime Applications

Dies ist die aktuellste Version dieses Eintrags.

Kurzfassung

In this work, we present detection and mitigation algorithms against malicious interference, custom tailored for maritime GNSS applications. Specifically, we propose a two-stage mitigation algorithm, that tackles multipath and radio frequency interference (RFI), such as continuous wave (CW), personal privacy devices (PPD) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) interferers. It consists of a pre-whitening approach, followed by a space-time adaptive Principle Component Analysis (PCA) beamformer that uses a compression method based on Canonical Components (CC) with a bank of signal matched correlators. The proposed algorithms are capable of suppressing strong RFI and separating highly correlated and even coherent multipath signals, thus achieving improved time-delay and pseudorange estimation performance for safety-critical applications. Finally, we evaluate and compare the proposed algorithms not only simulative but also with real data collected from a measurement campaign performed at a maritime jamming testbed in the Baltic sea
