SATCOM Earth Station Arrays Anti-Jamming Based on MVDR Algorithm

Abstract

In modern life, a large amount of information is transmitted through satellites. The anti-jamming ability of satellite communication earth stations is the basis for ensuring the smooth flow of information. In the case that multiple small earth stations cannot communicate due to jamming, the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) algorithm based on reflector antenna array is proposed. Firstly, the gain expression of satellite communication earth station antenna is derived, and the mathematical model of the received signal of the reflector antenna array is established. Then, the MVDR beamforming algorithm based on the reflector antenna is proposed and applied to the satellite communication earth station reflector antenna array, and the anti-jamming capability of the reflector antenna array using this algorithm is analyzed through simulation. The simulation results show that the earth station reflector antenna array using MVDR algorithm can effectively achieve array gain of the direction of the satellite signal, suppress the jamming signals, increase the output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the reflector antenna array, and increase the output signal to jamming plus noise ratio with the increase in the number of snapshots.
