GNSS Interference & Mitigation
Modern Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are highly vulnerable to radio-frequency interference due to the extremely weak nature of their signals, which typically reach the Earth’s surface at around –130 dBm. To address these threats, a layered defense strategy is required that combines pre-correlation techniques like adaptive notch filtering with advanced hardware solutions such as Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs).
