A method and apparatus detects and estimates geo-observables of navigation signals employing civil formats with repeating baseband signal components, i.e., “pilot signals,” including true GNSS signals generated by satellite vehicles (SV's) or ground beacons (pseudolites), and malicious GNSS signals, e.g., spoofers and repeaters. Multi-subband symbol-rate synchronous channelization can exploit the full substantive bandwidth of the GNSS signals with managed complexity in each subband. Spatial/polarization receivers can be provided to remove interference and geolocate non-GNSS jamming sources, as well as targeted GNSS spoofers that emulate GNSS signals. This can provide time-to-first-fix (TTFF) over much smaller time intervals than existing GNSS methods; can operate in the presence of signals with much wider disparity in received power than existing techniques; and can operate in the presence of arbitrary multipath.

Disclosed is a tuner device including an input terminal, a separator, a first amplifier, a second amplifier, and a tuner. The input terminal receives an input of a reception signal of satellite digital broadcasts. The separator is connected to the input terminal and adapted to frequency-separate a first signal and a second signal. The first signal is in a low-frequency domain of the reception signal, and the second signal is in a high-frequency domain of the reception signal. The first and second amplifiers respectively amplify the first and second signals. The tuner receives an input of output signals from the first and second amplifiers.
