초록

GPS 위성 신호는 매우 미약하기 때문에 시스템 재밍에 노출되어 있다. 이러한 재밍은 의도적 또는 미의도적 간섭 신호 송출에 따라 발생된다. 만약 재밍 신호가 수신기로 매우 강하게 들어온다면 수신기는 자동적으로 방어할 수 있도록 작동되어야한다. 재밍 상황에서 수신기가 정상적으로 작동할 수 있도록 하는 방법은 공간 필터링이 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 재밍대응 기법으로 신호처리 방법인 빔포밍을 조사하고 사용 가능여부를 분석하였다. 재밍 신호를 받으면 어레이 방향을 바꾸기 위하여 빔포밍은 센서 신호를 통제할 수 있기 때문에 재머 반대 방향으로 제어할 수 있는 고각 ${\theta}$를 측정하였다. 측정결과 GPS 신호는 안테나가 제어각 안에 있을 때 사용가능하기 때문에 제어각 $30^{\circ}$까지 GPS 위치 측정이 가능하였다.

Because GPS signals are weak, system jamming is a real and present danger. This can happen when the receiver is subjected to intentional or unintentional interference by a transmitter. If the jamming signal is strong enough, the receiver can be operated to take corrective action automatically. Current methods to protect GPS receiver from jamming condition are based on spatial filtering. In this paper, the beamforming as referred to in signal processing technique used in arrays for directional signal reception was suggested and analyzed for anti-jamming. In order to change the directionality of the array when receiving a jamming signal, a beamformer can control the signal at each sensor. Therefore, cutoff angle ${\theta}$ was measured in the opposite direction of the jammer. GPS signals are only processed when the antenna element is within inside the cutoff angle. As a result, GPS positioning can be used in condition under cutoff angle $30^{\circ}$.
