Mmae Detection Of Interference/Jamming And Spoofing In A Dpgs-Aided Inertial System, Nathan A. White Dec 1996

Mmae Detection Of Interference/Jamming And Spoofing In A Dpgs-Aided Inertial System, Nathan A. White

Theses and Dissertations

Previous research at AFIT has resulted in the development of a DGPS-aided INS-based precision landing system (PLS) capable of meeting the FAA precision requirements for instrument landings. The susceptibility of DGPS transmissions to interference/jamming and spoofing must be addressed before DGPS may be used in such a safety-of-flight critical role. This thesis applies multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) techniques to the problem of detecting and identifying interference/jamming and spoofing failures in the DGPS signal. Such an MMAE is composed of a bank of parallel filters, each hypothesizing a different failure status, along with an evaluation of the current probability of …


Interference Suppression For Spread Spectrum Signals Using Adaptive Beamforming And Adaptive Temporal Filter, Wonjin Park Dec 1996

Interference Suppression For Spread Spectrum Signals Using Adaptive Beamforming And Adaptive Temporal Filter, Wonjin Park

Theses and Dissertations

Interference and jamming signals are a serious concern in an operational military communication environment. This thesis examines the utility and performance of combining adaptive temporal filtering with adaptive spatial filtering (i.e. adaptive beamforming) to improve the signal-to-jammer ratio (SJR) in the presence of narrowband and wideband interference. Adaptive temporal filters are used for narrowband interference suppression while adaptive beamforming is used to suppress wideband interference signals. A procedure is presented for the design and implementation of a linear constraints minimum variance generalized sidelobe canceler (LCMV-GSC) beamformer. The adaptive beamformer processes the desired signal with unity gain while simultaneously and adaptively …
