Abstract [en]
In this work, we evaluate the detection performance of a number of commercial interference detectors and, in addition, of a detector that uses the automatic gain control (AGC) levels as test statistic. The AGC detector has been implemented on a Novatel GPS receiver and on a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). The evaluations are based on actual measurements of GPS signals and different types of jamming signals, which have been performed at the Vidsel test range in northern Sweden. The AGC detector was shown to work well for all types of jamming signals, in particular the one implemented on the USRP. The Chronos CTL-3500 was also shown to perform quite well for all kinds of signals, although not as good as the USRP with an AGC detector. Quite surprisingly, the J-alert was only able to detect the wideband (20 MHz) signal but not the narrow band (<2MHz) signals. By contrast, the jamming indicator on the Ublox 6 receiver was only able to detect a slowly varying modulated CW (MCW) signal, but not the signals with larger bandwidth (2 and 20 MHz). We confirmed that C/N0-based detectors could work well in a static scenario, but are not suitable in a dynamic scenario, since they cannot distinguish between decreased GPS signal strength (e.g. indoors) and an increased interference level.
