METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SUPPRESSING INTERFERING SIGNALS IN A SATELLITE PAYLOAD SIGNAL
A method for suppressing a spurious signal in a payload signal supplied by a receiving antenna of a payload of a satellite. The satellite also includes an array of measurement antennas supplying measurement signals. The measurement signals are combined with the payload signal. Reference weighting coefficients for weighting the measurement signals are determined as a function of the combined signals. A reference beam is formed by combining the measurement signals weighted based on the reference weighting coefficients. Anti jamming weighting coefficients for weighting the payload signal and the reference beam are determined. An anti jammed beam is formed by combining the payload signal and the reference beam weighed based on the corresponding anti jamming weighting coefficients.

Standalone GNSS anti-jam nuller-beamformer combining SFAP and STAP
A method and apparatus for providing a standalone anti jamming (AJ) nuller-beamformer. Signals from an antenna array include a sum of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and jamming signals from a plurality of spatial sources. A front end is configured to amplify, filter, down-convert, and sample the input signals which are then filtered, down-converted, and decimated prior to frequency-domain and time-domain partitioning. Weights are computed and applied for spatial nulling of jamming signals in each frequency bin for the partitioned signals. Frequency and time-domain reconstruction generates a reconstructed signal with suppressed jamming.
Detecting and removing spoofing signals
A method for detecting and removing spoofing signals may include receiving, by a navigation or communications device, a radio frequency (RF) signal and performing an anti-spoofing assessment to detect a presence of a spoofing signal associated with the RF signal. The method may additionally include generating a replica of the spoofing signal in response to the spoofing signal being detected and subtracting the replica of the spoofing signal from the RF signal to provide a residual non-spoofed signal. The method may further include decoding the residual non-spoofed signal by the navigation or communications device.
