Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that can provide one or more countermeasures against spoofers. An antenna, movable in space, is used to receive space vehicle (SV) signals that appear to be associated with a plurality of space vehicles of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). SV signals are identified that have similar signal power and/or phase signatures that respectively appear to be associated with at least a first space vehicle and a second space vehicle of the GNSS. An existence of a spoofer is identified based at least in part on the identification of SV signals that have similar signal power and/or phase signatures that respectively appear to be associated with at least the first space vehicle and the second space vehicle of the GNSS.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and mechanisms for sound beam focal point determination within an acoustic medium may include propagating a first sound beam to intersect a second sound beam, where the second sound beam converges at a focal point. Signals representative of sound pressure in the acoustic medium may be received from one or more sensors. A direction and/or focal length of the first sound beam within the acoustic medium may be adjusted, based, at least in part, on the received signals, to produce a maximum amplitude of signals generated from nonlinear mixing of the first sound beam and the second sound beam, where the maximum amplitude may correspond to the intersection of the first sound beam with the focal point of the second sound beam. A location of the intersection may be determined, at least in some instances, using a time-of-arrival analysis on the received signals.
