Abstract: A method is provided. In some examples, the method includes performing, by processing circuitry, a first transform operation on a first time-domain data set to generate a frequency-domain data set. In addition, the method includes determining, by the processing circuitry, that at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set satisfies a first threshold magnitude. The method also includes performing, by the processing circuitry, an inverse transform operation on the at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set to generate a second time-domain data set. The method further includes identifying, by the processing circuitry and based on the second time-domain data set, a region of interference in the first time-domain data set.
Abstract: A device and the associated method for detecting spoofing of GNSS signals are provided. The device includes an RF chain to acquire and down convert a signal comprising one or more GNSS signals transmitted by GNSS sources, each of the GNSS signals comprising a navigation message modulated by a spreading code associated to a related GNSS source, an analog to digital converter, to digitize the down converted signal, and a computer logic, to: calculate over a grid of spreading code phase delays and Doppler shifts, cross-correlation functions between the digitized signal and locally generated replicas of the signal, for one or more of the spreading codes, identify cross-correlation peaks, and analyze the cross-correlation peaks to detect spoofing situations.

Abstract: Suppressing interference in a frequency hopping signal. The method includes receiving a frequency hopping signal for a signal of interest. The frequency hopping signal includes the signal of interest modulated using frequency hopping and wideband and narrowband interference. Prior to de-hopping the frequency hopping signal, one or more wideband interferences in the frequency hopping signal are identified. The one or more wideband interferences are suppressed to create a wideband interference suppressed signal. Subsequent to suppressing the one or more wideband interferences, the wideband interference suppressed signal is de-hopped to create a de-hopped signal. In the de-hopped signal, one or more narrowband interferences are identified. The one or more narrowband interferences are suppressed to create an interference suppressed signal. The interference suppressed signal is demodulated to create a demodulated signal.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation signal generators, which generate a first OFDM modulation signal and a second OFDM modulation signal. The transmission apparatus also includes a transmitter that transmits the first OFDM modulation signal from a first antenna and the second OFDM modulation signal from a second antenna, in an identical frequency band.
Abstract: A pre-coding method for improving diversity gain in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system and a transmission apparatus and method are disclosed. The transmission method includes converting an input transmission signal into parallel signals, pre-coding the parallel signals with a predetermined frequency offset, performing Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) on the pre-coded signals, and up-converting the IDFT signals and outputting the up-converted signals to a wireless network. By performing pre-coding on a transmission signal with a frequency offset in an OFDM system, diversity gain can be improved.
