Abstract
GPS (global positioning system) is a popular system that provides location information by measuring arrival time difference at the receiver between several GPS satellite signals. GPS is widely used in commercial area as well as military systems. Reliable GPS signal reception is more important in the military systems. However, since the carrier frequencies of the GPS signals are well known, the GPS receivers are vulnerable to intentional jamming attacks. To remove jammers but maintain GPS signals at the received signals, a popular technique is an adaptive beam steering method based on array antenna. Among adaptive beam steering techniques, this paper considers MVDR (minimum variance distortionless response) algorithm, and proposes a new adaptive technique that preserves the received signals at desired direction, but removes the jamming signals adaptively. The performance of the proposed method is verified through computer simulation.
