INTRODUCTION
Nowadays the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSes) play a fundamental role
in several fields, belonging to very different areas Tracking of vehicles fleets (trains, trucks, or vessels), synchronization of communications and energy distribution networks, logistics, and mappings are examples of important civil applications, Within this scenario, the requirements that GNSS receivers have to fulfill, both in terms of
accuracy and continuity, are becoming more and more stringent
GNSS systems like GPS and Galileo are based on the Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum (DS-S8) technique, which intrinsically gives thom a high level of robustness
At the same time, it has to be considered that the satellite signals arrive at the receiver
anterma with an extremely low level of power This makes them vulnerable to different
disturbances All the system transmitting at carrier frequencies close to the band of interest are potential sources of interference for a GNSS receiver Even small leakages
out of their allocated bandwidth can become threats for the receiver,
Among many types of disturbances, narrow band interference (NRT) might cause serious receiver porformance degradation Recently, notch filters, which pass all frequencies except those in a narrow stop or rejection band centered on a central lrequeney, have boon considered as an ollective teclengue (or mitigating NBT There are several ways to implement a notch filter, among which the infinite impulse
response uoich filter (TR NF) bas a low complexity and efficient implementation Tn
this thesis, through the assessment of the carer to noise density ratio of the filtered
signal, a new design of the interference mitigation module based on the IIR NI is proposed This module has an ability to classify the incoming interference into CWI or band-limited interference ‘Then, it configures the notch: filter appropriately so that the
interference suppression is optimized

GNSS receivers And a summary of interference mitigation techniques is presented

GNSS Overview
A satellite navigation system is a system of satellites allowing electronic receivers to
determine their location (longitude, latitude, and altitude) by moans of the signal
transmission time from satellites [15] Depending on the scale and purpose of use, it
can be classified as:
Global Navigation Satellite System: A satellite navigalion system with globat
coverage such as: GPS (United States), Galileo (EU), GLONASS (Russian), and
COMPASS (China) Among them, GPS and GLONASS were the full orbital
vonstellations, Galileo are in the process of being developed, and Compass, the satellite navigation system is covering China, has been expanded into a global
system
Regional Navigation Satellite System: Some countries such as Indian, Japan lave developed thar own salcllite navigation system Indian Regioual
Navigation Satellite System (LRNSS) was approved in 2006 with the intention
of the system to be completed by middle of 2015 The Quasi-Z.enith Satellite
System (QZSS) was authorized by the Japanese government in 2002 and expected to be fully operational status by the end of 2017
Augmentation System: in order to improve the accuracy, integrity and
availability of GNSSes, especially GPS, augmentation systems have been developed There are two types: local area augmentation systems with the limited coverage; and wide area augmentation systems ‘Ihe latter uses satellites
lo broadcast augmentation information to users Examples are WAAS (USA), EGNOS (EU), MSAS (Japan) |18].
Trang 171.11 Fundamentals of satellite navigation
The position of a GNSS receiver in space can be found from the intersection of 3
spheres as described in Figure 1.1 The center and the radius of each sphere are the
position of a satellites and the distance measured from the receiver to the satellite,
Figure 1.1 Fundamental of a satellite navigation system
Let us denote (X„y„,Z„) 1s the receiver position, which is also the unknown
variables: and s;(x;,Y;,2;) is the position of i" satellite, which can be calculated using
the message transmitted by the corresponding satellite In order to
determine u(%,; Vi Z,) it is necessary to know positions and distances to the receiver
of at least 3 satellites
The distance from the receiver to a satellite is measured based on the transmission time
of the signal between them:
Trang 18p=clr+ (ðt, — ðt°)] (ll) where € is the speed of light, r is the transmission time, and 6t,, — dt* = 6¢ is the bias between the receiver clock and the satellite clock, as shown on Figure 1.2 This bias exists because the atomic clocks on all the satellites are designed with a very high
accuracy, while the low cost clock on the receiver does not meet this requirement
Pseudorange

The bias d¢ is a new variable For this reason, it is necessary to know the positions of at
least 4 satellites The receiver's position is found by solving the system of equations

Trang 191.12 GNSS receiver structure
In general, a conventional GNSS receiver includes 3 main functioning blocks: RF
front-end, Digital signal processing, and Navigation processing as seen in Figure 1.3
Figure 1.3 High-level architecture of a GNSS receiver
These blocks are described as follows [9, 15]
e Radio frequency front-end: After arriving at the receiver's antenna, the GNSS
signal (with the noise and the interference components) is filtered, down-
converted to the Intermediate Frequency (IF), and sampled by the front-end
© The digital signal processing is divided into 2 stages: acquisition, tracking and
data demodulation
© The function of signal acquisition is to provide GNSS satellites in view,
their code delay and Doppler shift frequency To do these tasks, the
acquisition stage performs a search in three dimensions, namely PRN
identification, code delay and Doppler shift Each set of three parameters
forms a local replica signal The correlation between this local signal and
the incoming one is used to decide the best-match set The estimated set
is then transferred to the tracking stage for finer estimation
° The estimates of Doppler shift and code delay in the acquisition process
are initial values with a low accuracy Thus, they are fed for tracking
Trang 20provess to be estimated contimously and more accurately ‘This process tries to generate local replica signal with the least bias with respect to the code and carrier in received signal Once the signal of a satellite is tracked, the navigation data bits can be readily recovered and then the navigation message is obtained
* Navigation processing: ‘The obtained navigation message contains the satellite’s
position, When af least 4 salcllites are Imcked, the posilioning process can be performed by solving a system of equations (1.2) as introduced in section 1.1.1
12 Interference Threat
it has to be considered that the satellite signals arrive at the receiver antenna with an
extremely low level of power (approximately 20 dB below the noise floor) This makes
them vuluerable (o different disturbances, among which the Radio Frequency
Interference (RU'1) from external sources is one of the main threats As defined in [16]:
Interference noise is noise that comes in at the same frequency (ies) as the wanted
signal and can mask (or overwhelm) parts of ihe desired signal All the sysloms transmitting at carrier frequencies close to the band of interest are potential sources of
interference for GNSS receivers Ever small leakages out of their allocated bandwidihy
can become threats for the receivers, Moreover, the growing number of wireless communication infrastructures increases the probability that some out of band energy
affects the perlormance of GNSS receivers
Normally, the RF interference is classified as wide-band (WB) or narrow-band (NB), depending on the ratio between the interference and the desired GNSS signal bandwidths [5] In this sense, an interference might be classified differently, depending,
on the specific GNSS signal that is considered (e.g the same interference can be
classified as wide for the GPS L1 CYA code and narrow for the GPS P(Y) code) The
Trang 21limit for a narrow-band interference is a single tone [5], usually refer to as continuous wave (CW)
‘Table 4.1 Interference threstiold versus Interference bandwidth
for GPS receivers in track moile [16]
Interferences affect the performance of GNSS receivers, especially in the
synchronizalion processes For asquisition process, they increase the noise Moor,
therefore, reduce the ability of signal detection [1] This might make the receiver
unable to find its position, because it can not see enough satellites For tracking
‘process, interferences increase (he code tracking error, and then might lead to the loss
of track in the receiver [6] In [16], the author showed the susceptibility of GPS
reueivers versus the interference bandwidth (Table 1.1) Tt cant be
mi that signals with
bandwidth up to 700 Hz is the most severe threat with the lowest thresholds of -126.5 dBm.
Trang 22‘The potential sources of non-intentional interference might come from the harmonics
of some telecommunication signals such as: VIIFCOM, SATCOM Communications,
Aircrall Communication Addressing and Reportirys Sysiem (ACARS), TY charmels, 4M channels, as illustrated in ‘Table 1.2 [6]
‘Table 1.2 Potential interference sources [6]
Trang 23In Vietnam, the Circular No 29, dated 27 December 2013, issued by The Ministry of
Information And Communications stated that three organizations of broadcasting the
digital terrestrial lelevision services in Vielam have the nght to use the charmel 27
{518 526 MIIz], at the center frequency 522 Milz It can be seen in the ‘Table 1.2, the
3" harmonic of this channel is inside L1 band: thus, it is one of the potential
interference sources [or 1.1 band of GNSS signals
1.3 Interference Mitigation ‘Techniques
As mentioned above, the presence of interfer
¢ might cause @ serious decree `
Teceiver performanoe Therefore, it is necessary to research and develop interference
monitoring techniques including: detection, characterization, localization and
mitigation [9] Among them, the mitigation techniques play an important role to ensure
that the receiver still works in the interfered environment Interference mitigation
lechrriques cari be claasilied into 3 categories, dependiry on ils position on Lhe recewer diagram [17]: A/D converter, Post-correlation techniques, and Pre-correlation techniques They are shown in ascending order of complexity in Table 1.3 Obviously,
the more complex these Leclniques are, the more effective they achieve
« A/D Converter: GNSS receivers often use a single bit A/D converter to reduce
the cost and the power consumption ITowever, in the presence of CWI, the loss
of lock threshold of these receivers might decrease up to 5-7 dB Adaptive A/Ds use more than one bit for quantization and adaptively adjust their signal thresholds according to the received power
« Post-correlation techniques: are implemented by modifying the tracking loops of
Te
cr in order to improve the tmeking thresholds
« Pre-correlation techniques: are applied prior to the tracking loop Considering the frequorey domain, a tarrowband inlterlerenee can be removed by a filler,
without significant altering the characteristic of GNSS signal ‘Ihe filter used for

Among many types of interference NBI might cause a serious receiver performance
degradation, For this kind of disturbing signal, the NF has proved to be an efficient
mitigation technique, since it can be considered as a good compromise between
Trang 25efficiency and complexity ‘hus, this thesis focuses on the class of narrow-band interferers, where the term ‘narrow’ has to be considered with respect to the GPS Ll CYA code and the Galileo EI signals (ie, the interference bandwidth is within tens of kdlohertz).
Trang 26CHAPTER 2 NOTCH FILTER FOR GNSS NARROW BAND
A notch filter (NF) is a filter that passes all frequencies except those in a stop or
rejection band centered on a central frequency Therefore, a notch filter can be defined
by two parameters: the notch bandwidth By, and notch frequency fy Notch frequency
is the center frequency to be removed, and notch bandwidth is the width of frequency
region in which the signal power is reduced by 3 dB
Normalized Frequency (x7 rad/sample)
Figure 2.1 Frequency response of notch filter for two difference pole factors
Trang 27‘There are several ways to implement a notch filter, normally categorized into three main classes: the Fast Fourier Transform (FT'T)-based, the Finite Impulse Response (FIR), and the Infinite Trpulse Response (TR) notch filter [4] FFT — based NF used
JL algorithm to evaluate the signal spectrum 1f any frequency component passes a predefined threshold, it will be considered as a CWI and removed by setting at zero This algorithin brings the capability of working with multiple CWT lo FFT-based NF The second type is FIR filter, which removes the interference by combining several weighted input samples This lype of filler is oflen designed with linear phase response
in order to ensure that thore is no distortion in the output of filter Both FFT-based and 1L NIV have their own advantages [lowever, these types of notch filter require high computation cost Tn recen years, TR nolch filters are considered for GXSS interference mitigation because of their low computational requirements, efficient implementation and low number of parameters to be adapted [2]
The IIR two-pole NF has the following transfer function [2]
1—21Re{zg}z 1+ |Zo|z ?
NO Weight aa, + Vaal Ee? GD)
where % = reJ2*f% is the zero, which orresponds †o the notch fequency /y; and k„
(with 0 < ky <1) is the pole contraction factor, which decides the notch bandwidth
To exploit effectively the capability of NF for removing interference signals, the zeros should be constrained to be on the unit circle [7], and this type of NF will be
considered in this thesis
Figure 2.1 reports the frequency responses of a notch filter with two different pole factors It is clear that the pole factor ke decides the width of the notch: the closer ke is
to unity, the narrower the noteh is Tn other words, the notch bandwidth is characterized
by the pole factor ka, as it decides which frequency components will be removed

Trang 2822 Adaptive Frequency Notch Filter
When using NI‘ to remove interference, it is necessary to know the notch frequency (or interference frequeney) However, in reality, this parameter is unknown and might vary over time as shown on Figure 2.2, Thus, an adaptive notch filter (ANE) is designed to
estimate and track it automatically To do this, it is important to note that if the notch
frequency matches the interference carrier (fx = fingh the power of signal after filtering will be a minimum It is because the interference power is often much higher than the usual received signal (includes useful signal and noise) This statement is proved on Figure 2.3, where the power of output filler is mvestigated with varying
Figure 2.2 Spectrum at the front-end output at different time instants (from [4]}
Thus, the ANF can be implemented by usin Teast Mean Square (IMS) algorithin ta anininize the power of filler ontpul, as follows [2] The vero a9 of transfer fimetion

to the interference frequency
The ileralive rule be update Z9 3s:
Zn[Lm + 1] = Zu[n] — wV„„(|y[n]|?) (2.2)
where V denotes the stochastic gradient, j: is the algorithm step and y[m] is the output
of the notch filter [2]
Figure 2.3 Power of filter output when noteh frequency varies
‘The power spectrums of signal before and after filtering are shown on Figure 2.4, An interference source produces a very high peak in the spectrum in Figure 2.4.(a), and it
is removed by ANF and disappears in Figure 2.4.(b)
Figure 2.5 shows the evolution of adapted frequency during the adaptation process It
converges lo the interference Lequency after aboul one thousand samples (equivalent
to about Ims for this data set).

several interference mitigation modules using the notch filter were proposed Figure 2.6 shows a high-level block diagram of the GNSS receiver chain, where the
Interference mitigation module is present After arriving at the receiver's antenna, the
GNSS signal (with the noise and the interference components) is filtered, down- converted to the Intermediate Frequency, and sampled by the front-end Then, the
