Sidelobes Suppression for Time Domain Anti-Jamming of Satellite Navigation Receivers

Abstract

The global satellite navigation system represented by global position systems (GPS) has been widely used in civil and military fields, and has become an important cornerstone of space-time information services. However, the frequency band of satellite navigation signals is open, and the frequency points overlap with some radars and communication systems, which brings challenges to the application of satellite navigation. Time-domain adaptive filtering technology is a typical anti-jamming method which can suppress the narrow-band interference faced by satellite navigation. However, in the process of suppressing narrow-band interference, the navigation signal will be distorted, which is mainly reflected in the distortion of the spectrum of the navigation signal, which will lead to the enhancement of the side lobes in the correlation function. In this paper, we focus on time-domain adaptive anti-jamming, study the mechanism of correlation function sidelobes lift caused by narrow-band interference suppression, and propose a correlation function sidelobes suppression method based on time-domain adaptive anti-jamming, which can be realized without losing anti-jamming performance. The simulation experiment verifies the validity of the mechanism analysis of the sidelobes lift of the correlation function and the effectiveness of the proposed method. The analysis results and the proposed method are of great significance, which is reflected in the improvement of the anti-jamming performance and acquisition performance of satellite navigation receivers.
