Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of detecting interference in a satellite radio-navigation signal, calculates an item of information representative of the slope of the correlation function correlating the said signal with a local spreading code. The correlation function has substantially the theoretical form of an isosceles triangle, with the slope being estimated on any one of the equal-length sides of the isosceles triangle. The method further includes comparing the item of information with a detection threshold configured at least as a function of a target signal-to-noise ratio.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Method, implemented by a radio-navigation signals receiver comprising a correlator and an interference detector, for detecting interference in a received satellite radio-navigation signal, comprising the steps of: calculating, at the correlator, a correlation function correlating the received satellite radio-navigation signal with a local spreading code, the said correlation function having substantially a theoretical form of an isosceles triangle, c…
