  • Patent number: 11719827
    Abstract: A system for testing a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver includes signal generators, antennas coupled to respective signal generators and having overlapping antenna radiation patterns, and processing circuitry. The signal generators generate respective test signals. Each of the test signals is a combination of multiple GNSS navigational signals which are generated using a set of ranging codes. The processing circuitry selects respective sets of ranging codes for the signal generators, such that the sets of ranging codes are separately insufficient to lock a GNSS receiver and are jointly sufficient to lock a GNSS receiver.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11579308
    Abstract: A duplicate peak detector acquires and tracks a first correlation peak for a data sequence associated with a navigation satellite in a satellite navigation signal. During tracking of the first correlation peak, a second correlation peak is acquired and tracked for the same data sequence. Respective values of at least one tracking variable of the two correlation peaks are analyzed, and based on the analysis it is determined whether the first and second correlation peaks are associated with the same navigation signal or different navigation signals. If the first correlation peak and the second correlation peak are associated with the same navigation signal, tracking of one of the correlation peaks is discontinued.

  • Publication number: 20220236425
    Abstract: An attack detector for detecting attacks on a satellite navigation system obtains navigation messages extracted from satellite navigation signals and/or additional parameters of the satellite navigation signal from source devices. The obtained navigation messages and/or parameters are analyzed to detect satellite navigation spoofing attacks. An indicator is issued when an attack is detected.

  • Publication number: 20210382179
    Abstract: A device for mitigating satellite navigation spoofing includes processing circuitry which detects correlation peaks for PRNs in a satellite navigation signal. The TOAs of subframes of navigation messages associated with each of correlation peaks are recorded and analyzed to determine if they fall within a specified time window. Based on the analysis, the correlation peaks are classified as legitimate or as spoofed. A correct geographic location is computed from the navigation data associated with the legitimate correlation peaks. Corresponding methods for mitigating satellite navigation spoofing may be embodied in a hardware-based GNSS receiver and in a software-based GNSS receiver.
