Abstract: A GPS receiver device can include at least one radio frequency (RF) chip implementing at least three RF modules configured to process RF signals received over at least three RF channels. Each RF module can be associated with a respective RF channel. Each RF module can include (1) a frequency demultiplexer and (2) at least two parallel circuits coupled to the frequency demultiplexer. Each of the parallel circuits can include (i) a RF amplifier connected to a respective output port of the frequency demultiplexer and (ii) an analog bandpass filter connected in series to the RF amplifier. The GPS receiver device can include a circuit board on which the at least one RF chip is mounted. The circuit board can have a breadth (e.g., length, width, or diameter) less than or equal to 1.65 inch.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for providing anti-jam protection for GPS receivers. The anti-jam system of the present invention may require less space and less power than conventional anti-jam systems. The anti-jam circuitry of the present invention may provide anti-jam protection while reducing the number of high-power usage components and integrating the components into an overall reduced form factor. Complex signal processing may be avoided whereby hardware manipulations are handled by hardware components rather than a digital signal processor.
