Method of detecting interference in a satellite radio-navigation signal, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

Method of detecting interference in a satellite radio-navigation signal

Station for receiving satellite radio navigation signals having first wideband transceiver for receiving a specific signal transmitted by a transmitter/receiver and extracting therefrom at least one user radio navigation signal, a first centralized configured for determining a measurement of pseudo distance and a centralized calculator for calculating navigation information (PVT), the reception station having a first reference channel for receiving radio navigation signals having a directional antenna for forming a channel, a second processor for processing the radio navigation signal received by the directional antenna for forming a channel and a calculation unit that is suited to performing an improvement in reliability, an integrity check and authentication of the navigation information (PVT).

Satellite radio navigation system with remote architecture

Method of detecting interference in a satellite radio-navigation signal determines the temporal position for which the correlation between the signal and a local spreading code offset by the position is maximum, calculating an information item representative of the intercorrelation between a first measurement of the correlation of the signal with a local spreading code at a first temporal position advanced relative to the temporal position of the maximum by a duration greater than the duration of a slot of the spreading code and a second measurement of the correlation of the signal with a local spreading code at a second temporal position delayed relative to the temporal position of the maximum by a duration greater than the duration of a slot of the spreading code, and comparing the item with a detection threshold configured at least as a function of the ratio of the powers of the signal and of the interference.

Method of detecting interference in a satellite radio-navigation signal based on the monitoring of a temporal correlation coefficient

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.
