Adaptive filtering algorithms can be used on the time-domain processing of navigation receivers to suppress interference and maintain the navigation and positioning function. The filter length can affect the interference suppression performance and hardware utilization simultaneously. In practical engineering, the filter length is usually set to a large number to guarantee anti-jamming performance, which means a high-performance receiver requires a high-complexity anti-jamming filter. The study aims at solving the problem by presenting a design method for the optimal filter order in the time-domain anti-jamming receiver, with no need for detailed interference information. According to interference bandwidth and jam-to-signal ratio (JSR), the approach designed a band-stop filter by Kaiser window for calculating the optimal filter order to meet interference suppression requirements. The experimental results show that the time-domain filtering processing has achieved good interference suppression performance for engineering requirements with optimal filter order in satellite navigation receivers.

Interference multipath is an important factor to affect the anti-jamming performance for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antenna array receiver. However, interference multipath must be considered in practical application. In this paper, the antenna array model for interference multipath is analyzed, and an equivalent model for interference multipath is proposed. According to the equivalent interference multipath model, the influence of interference multipath on anti-jamming performance is analyzed from the space only processing (SOP) and space-time adaptive processing (STAP). Interference multipath can cause loss of the degree of freedom (DoF) of SOP. Through analysis of the equivalent model and STAP mechanism, it further reveals how the STAP can solve the interference multipath. The simulation experiments prove that the equivalent model is effective, and the analysis conclusion is correct. This paper also points out that the interference bandwidth is wider and more taps in STAP are required, under the same experiment conditions.

The global navigation satellite system (GNSS), represented by global positioning systems (GPS), is widely used in various civil and military fields and represents an essential basis for space-time information services. However, the radar signals partially overlap with the frequency band of satellite navigation signals, seriously affecting the normal reception of weak satellite navigation signal power. To further improve anti-jamming with sweep interference in the time domain, this paper focuses on the sweep interference scenario, studies the influence of the sweep interference on time-domain-adaptive anti-jamming, and proposes a timing reset based on the adaptive filter. The proposed method can effectively deal with the influence of sweep interference on time-domain-adaptive anti-jamming and can suppress interference and protect signals at the same time. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the anti-jamming method proposed in this paper. Under the typical simulation scenarios, the influence time of the frequency sweep interference on the navigation signal is less than 1 m when the timing reset period is 1 m, which is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods. The proposed anti-jamming method is of great significance for improving the survivability of satellite navigation receivers in sweep interference scenarios.

Frequency-domain anti-jamming technology is a common anti-jamming method for satellite navigation receivers. 1/2 overlapping windowing can effectively solve the spectrum leakage in the frequency domain conversion process, but the traditional window function will cause the loss of signal energy. This paper proposes a window function design method with no loss of signal energy, which can effectively solve the signal energy loss caused by the window function. The feasibility of the proposed method is theoretically deduced, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation and measured data. Compared with the traditional window function, the signal-to-noise ratio improvement of the method proposed in this paper is better than 0.5 dB. The frequency domain anti-jamming processing is optimized, the signal-to-noise ratio loss caused by the anti-jamming processing is reduced, and the anti-jamming performance is indirectly improved. This plays an important role in the performance optimization of satellite navigation system links.

The global navigation satellite system has achieved great success in the civil and military fields and is an important resource for space-time information services. However, spoof interference has always been one of the main threats to the application security of satellite navigation receivers. In order to further improve the application security of satellite navigation receivers, this paper focuses on the application scenarios where narrowband and spoofing interference exist at the same time, studies the problem of spoofing interference detection under mixed interference conditions, then proposes a spoofing interference detection method based on the tracking loop identification curve. This method can effectively deal with the detection of spoofing interference under the conditions of narrowband interference and, at the same time, it can effectively detect the spoofing interference of gradual deviation. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the spoofing interference detection method, based on the tracking loop discrimination curve. In typical jamming and spoofing scenarios, when the spoofing signal is about 7.5 m away from the real signal, the method used in this paper can achieve effective detection. The proposed detection method is of great significance for improving the anti-spoofing capability of satellite navigation receivers.
