SPOOFING DETECTION AND ANTI-JAM MITIGATION FOR GPS ANTENNAS

摘要

In some example embodiments, there is provided an apparatus comprising an antenna configured to receive a signal from a global navigation satellite system, wherein the antenna includes a first feed and a second feed; a hybrid coupler including a first hybrid input, a second hybrid input, a first hybrid output, a second hybrid output, wherein the first hybrid input is coupled to the first feed, the second hybrid input is coupled to the second feed, and wherein the first hybrid output is shifted in phase by 90 degrees relative to the second hybrid output; a variable phase shifter including a shifter input and a shifter output, wherein the shifter input is coupled to the first hybrid output, wherein variable phase shifter is configured to induce an additional phase shift; and a combiner including a first combiner input, a second combiner input, and a combiner output, wherein the first combiner input is coupled to the shifter output, and the second combiner input is coupled to the second hybrid output, and wherein the combiner output represents a combined right hand circularly polarized signal and left hand circularly polarized signal, wherein the combiner output is provided to detection circuitry. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
