Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) have become indispensable technologies in modern society. However, with the congestion of the radio spectrum and the increase in the use of jamming equipment by criminals, the reliability of GPS and GSM signals is facing severe challenges. In order to ensure the stability of communications and navigation, it is crucial to research and develop systems that can effectively detect, direction find and locate interfering signals. This article will introduce the principle, design and application of the GPS and GSM interference signal direction finding and positioning system based on detection.
Interference signal detection principle
- Detection technology
- Signal direction finding
Detection technology is a basic method in signal processing, used to extract the envelope information of the signal. For radio signals, detection can be achieved by diodes, operational amplifiers or digital signal processors. Using detection technology, the characteristics of interference signals can be extracted from the complex radio spectrum for analysis and positioning.
Signal direction finding is a key step in determining the direction of the source of the interference signal. Commonly used direction finding methods include:
Phase difference direction finding: Use a multi-antenna array to receive signals, and calculate the incident direction of the signal by comparing the phase difference of the signals received by each antenna.
Amplitude difference direction finding: Infer the source direction of the signal by measuring the difference in signal strength at different locations.
Time difference direction finding: Use the arrival time difference of the received signal at different locations to determine the signal direction.
Characteristics of GPS and GSM interference signals
- GPS interference signal
- GSM interference signal
GPS interference signals usually exist in the following forms:
Noise interference: Broadband noise signals cover the GPS signal frequency band, causing the receiver to be unable to lock on to satellite signals.
Spoofing interference: fake GPS signals to trick the receiver into calculating an incorrect position.
GSM interference signals mainly include:
Blocking interference: Strong signals interfere with the receiving ability of the GSM receiver, causing communication interruption.
Interference carrier: transmit interference signals of specific frequencies within the GSM frequency band, disrupting normal communications.
Some signal jammers can jam both GPS and GSM signals at the same time.
