However, interferences to GPS introduce great dangers to GPS users. This paper gives an assessment of interferences to the GPS positioning signal. The work is mainly concentrated on effects of wide band interferences. Effects of traditional interferences such as continuous wave (CW), as well as broadband noise and pulse interference are studied. Furthermore, according to the GPS’s signal characteristics, another kind of wideband interferences, named m sequence interference in this paper, is also studied. Simulation results show that m sequence interference is the most harmful to GPS C/A code if special m sequence is adopted and thus special countermeasures should be used to eliminate this effect.展开更多

The proposed strategy is based on the cyclic redundancy check( CRC) of the messages in the subframes 2 and 3. The simulation results show that average number of iterations of the proposed strategy is less than that of the standard ET strategy,with nearly no degradation in decoding performance. Besides,the proposed ET strategy can be efficiently implemented in a sequential or parallel manner. Thus,the proposed ET strategy is attractive for practical purposes.展开更多
