Anti Jamming Technology
Anti-Jamming protects GNSS receivers from interference and intentional jamming.
Jamming involves the transmission of disruptive signals to interfere with the reception of a communication signal, rendering it unintelligible or unusable.
Anti-jamming technology aims to enhance the resilience and reliability of communication systems in the presence of deliberate interference. This technology is utilized in various domains, including military communications, satellite navigation, and wireless networks. Here are some key aspects of anti-jamming technology:
Frequency Hopping:
Frequency hopping involves rapidly changing the transmission frequency over a wide range. This makes it challenging for jammers to disrupt communication consistently.
Spread Spectrum Techniques:
Spread spectrum modulation techniques, such as Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), distribute the signal energy over a broad frequency band, making it more resilient to narrowband jamming.
Nulling and Beamforming:
Antenna arrays with nulling and beamforming capabilities can dynamically adjust their radiation patterns to minimize the impact of jamming signals. Nulling focuses on canceling out interference, while beamforming directs the antenna's sensitivity toward the desired signal.
Advanced Signal Processing:
Sophisticated signal processing algorithms can detect and mitigate jamming signals. These algorithms may include adaptive filtering, interference cancellation, and machine learning techniques.

Spatial Diversity:
Using multiple antennas or spatially diverse receivers helps mitigate the impact of jamming by providing multiple paths for signal reception. Spatial diversity techniques aim to improve signal quality in the presence of interference.
Frequency and Time Hopping:
Combining frequency hopping and time hopping techniques can enhance resilience against both frequency-selective and time-selective jamming.
Cognitive Radio:
Cognitive radio systems can dynamically adapt to the radio frequency environment, identifying and avoiding jammed frequencies. These systems can opportunistically use the available spectrum while avoiding interference.
Encryption and Authentication:
Implementing robust encryption and authentication mechanisms ensures that communication remains secure even in the presence of jamming attempts.
Anti-jamming Application is essential in civilian systems, such as satellite navigation and wireless communications, where resilience against intentional interference is increasingly important.
