In this paper, we consider the applicability of time-hopping(TH) systems for anti-jamming(AJ) communication. We first briefly summarize fundamentals of TH systems and several common jamming scenarios that have been considered in the literature. We then analyze the AJ performance of TH systems under those common jamming environments. From our simulation results, we reveal that among narrow band, partial band, broadband, and sweep jamming, partial band and sweep jamming are the best ones from jammer perspective. For the partial band jamming case, we show that the most effective bandwidth ratio and location are 50 % and 2.5-3.5 Ghz, respectively. For the sweep jamming case, we illustrate that the AJ performance of the TH system is enhanced when the sweep duration approaches to the bit duration. In addition, we pointed out that the most efficient jamming bandwidth ratio is 1/2. Finally, our results show that the TH-BPSK system greatly outperforms the TH-PPM counterpart.

The Global Positioning System is a navigation system that has been developed by the United States for military use. Currently, many countries, including the Republic of Korea, use GPS for civilian and military uses. However, as useful as it is, GPS is vulnerable to its Jamming signal, as the strength of the signal from satellites is very weak. In this paper, a novel jamming signal detection and cancellation method is proposed when a narrow-band jamming signal is included in the GPS received signal. At the GPS receiver, the received signal is transformed to a frequency domain sample by Fast Fourier Transform. In order to suppress the Spectral Leakage, the Blackman-Harris window is used. The proposed jamming signal cancellation algorithm will find the frequency sample with maximum power and null the maximum sample in addition to some lateral samples. If the GPS receiver is designed with FFT of size 128 to 512, it is shown that 42 samples are optimal to cancel the narrow-band jamming signal.

In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, Narrow-Band Jamming (NBJ) over pilot tones used for channel estimation degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose a new jammed pilot detection and elimination algorithm to overcome this problem. Moreover, the average Mean-Squared Error (MSE) on one OFDM symbol both under jammed and removed pilot subcarrier is analyzed. And then, the Symbol Error Rate (SER) performance of the channel estimation scheme using the proposed algorithm is evaluated by simulation. We can confirm that the channel estimator with the proposed algorithm improves the channel estimation performance at a high jamming power.

In this paper, based on the conventional SC-FDE structure, we propose a new SC-FDE structure to cope with narrow band jammer. In the conventional SC-FDE structure, channel estimation is performed in the time domain. When a narrow band jammer exists, time-domain channel estimation is very difficult due to high power jamming interference, which degrades receiver performance. To relieve from this problem, a new SC-FDE frame is proposed to enable channel estimation under narrow band jamming environments. In this paper, we proposed a modified SC-FDE structure that can perform channel estimation in the frequency domain, and verified the performance via computer simulation.

This paper presents the GPS receiver's inherent interference effectiveness based on the receiver's internal processing gain. This research is to verify the weakness of the GPS satellite signals and evaluate the receiver's vulnerability in an interference situation. The experiment for the narrow band interference effectiveness for the L1 C/A code GPS receiver has been performed by using the Spirent GSS4765 jamming simulator. After analyzing the experimental result, it is compared with the calculated J/S value of the two different L1 C/A code GPS receivers. By the above result, the narrowband jamming effectiveness of the each jamming source and the jamming margin for the each receiver are to be analyzed in detail. Finally, we could utilize the result to analyze the jamming effectiveness on the GNSS receiver.

Adaptive correlator receiver with neural network based on complex multilayer perceptron is persented for suppressing interference of narrow-band of direct spread spectrum communication systems. Recursive least square algorithm with backpropagation error is used for fast convergence and better performance in adaptive correlator scheme. According to signal noise and transmission power, computer simulation results show that bit error ratio of adaptive correlator using neural network improved that of adative transversal filter of direct sequence spread spectrum considering of jamming and narrow-band interference. Bit error ratio of adaptive correlator with neural network is reduced about 10-1 than that of adaptive transversal filter where interference versus signal ratio is 5dB.

Spread spectrum method gurantees good performance in digital communication system under multi-path interference and jamming signals. The purpose of this paper is to develop the wireless modem using DS/SS techinque. The transceiver consists of a spread spectrum DQPSK transmitter and a mtching receiver. The system operates with the chipping rate set to 4 Mcps and the number of chips/symbol at 64, making the data rate 62.5 Kbps using QPSK modilation. The receiver section uses a digital matched filter for fast acquisition of burst signals and uses the comparing the BER of proposed system iwth that of narrow bnd system under various additive white gaussian noises. It is showen that the proposed sysem has better performance than narrow band system. When jamming signals is added to the suggested DS/SS system, we also show that the experimental performance (BER) of the suggested wireless modem is almost same as theroretical performance.

In this paper, we present narrowband interference (NBI) cancelling algorithm applied to wideband spread spectrum system. We introduce multi-carrier transmission technique to overcome hardware inplementation difficulty of wideband spreading above 40MHz and to enhance NBI performance. A direct-sequence spread spectrum receiver using both decision-feedback and two sided LMS filters for combating narrowband interference is applied. We show that performance of this receiver outperforms conventional NBI rejection systems in tone jamming, partial band jamming, and impulsive channel through the bit error ratio evaluation. In addition, we propose a new technique to improve the performance of time domain NBI rejection algorithm sensitive to impulsive channel.

In this paper, we compare the performance of IS-OFDM(interference suppressing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system with that of the conventional OFDM system. Each parallel branch symbol of IS-OFDM is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. The structure of IS-OFDM shows the frequency diversity characteristic. Therefore, IS-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. BER performances are found in the narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channels. When JSR(Jamming to signal ratio) increases from -10 dB to +10 dB in the constant interference bandwidth, IS-OFDM outperforms the conventional OFDM and the BER difference between IS-OFDM and OFDM is reduced as JSR increases. Also, the similar properly can be shown when interference bandwidth increases at the constant JSR. In the harmonic noise channel, we can find the good performance of IS-OFDM when the h-rate(harmonic noise bandwidth to signal bandwidth ratio) increases from 0.01 to 0.8. So, simulation results show that the IS-OFDM is more robust to the interference than the conventional OFDM.

This study proposes method for enhancing the performance of previously developed or produced weapon systems without developing new detection equipment by using Phase Gradient Metasurfaces(PGMS). Metasurface has been studied and utilized a lot to improve the detection performance of inorganic systems, but its utilization is low due to its narrow bandwidth and complex structure. To address some of these limitations, dual-band power focusing PGMS is proposed. Its frequency independent unit cell characteristic enables creating metasurface that concentrates signals in dual-band. The designed PGMS was validated through near-field and far-field measurement, confirming signal concentration at the specified focal length and improved gain in the dual bands.
