Abstract

In anti-jamming GPS receiver, adaptive signal processing techniques in which the radiation pattern of adaptive array antenna of elements may be adaptively changed used to reject interference, clutter, and jamming signals. In this paper, I describes adaptive signal processing technique using the sample matrix inversion(SMI) algorithm. This adaptive signal processing technique can be applied effectively to wideband/narrowband anti-jamming GPS receiver because it does not consider the satellite signal directions and GPS signal power level exists below the thermal noise. I also analyzed the effects of covariance matrix sample size and diagonal loading technique on the system performance of five-element circular array antenna. To attain near optimum performance, more samples required for calculation covariance matrix. Diagonal loading technique reduces the system nulling capability against low-power jamming signals, but this technique improves robustness of adaptive array antenna.
