Global navigation satellite system spoofer identification technique
Disclosed is a technique that can provide one or more countermeasures against spoofers. A direction from which a spoofing attack occurs is identified. A beamformer can control an antenna pattern of a CRPA to null out signals from that direction, which can assist a GNSS receiver to avoid error induced by the spoofing attack. Further, after two or more observations, the location of the spoofer can be identified.
Smart device with an integrated radar system
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart device with an integrated radar system. The radar integrated circuit is positioned towards an upper-middle portion of a smart device to facilitate gesture recognition and reduce a false-alarm rate associated with other non-gesture related motions of a user. The radar integrated circuit is also positioned away from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas and a wireless charging receiver coil to reduce interference. The radar system operates in a low-power mode to reduce power consumption and facilitate mobile operation of the smart device. By limiting a footprint and power consumption of the radar system, the smart device can include other desirable features in a space-limited package (e.g., a camera, a fingerprint sensor, a display, and so forth).

Provided are a clock synchronization method performed between communication nodes included in a communication network, the clock synchronization method comprises receiving a synchronization source signal through any one of remaining communication nodes except for an uppermost communication node included in the communication network, generating a reference clock for clock synchronization from the received synchronization source signal and transmitting the generated reference clock through a first path including at least a portion reverse to a second path through which a downlink signal is transmitted in the communication network.
System and method for tracking an object
A mobile tracking system including an antenna, gimbal, and GPS subsystem. The mobile tracking system is operable with a plurality of models of gimbal and can automatically determine gimbal parameters based upon a detected model. This allows for plug and play of several gimbal models without the need for further input provided by a user. The mobile tracking system can also identify positional information for the system itself as well as for a tracked node, and can provide gimbal pan/tilt instructions based upon both. This allows for accurate tracking in an environment where the MTS itself is moving.
