Abstract
Disclosed is a method of detecting and rejecting a spoofing or jamming signal source by receiving at a first device a forecast of a visibility for each Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite signal source in the forecast at a GNSS receiver coupled to the first device, calculating from at least an elevation and the received visibility of the satellite signal sources in the forecast a predicted Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), comparing SNR acquired by the GNSS receiver of one or more of the satellite signal sources to the predicted SNR, detecting a spoofing signal source based on acquiring a higher SNR than predicted or a jamming signal source based on acquiring a lower SNR than predicted, and rejecting the spoofing or jamming signal source based on differences between the acquired and predicted SNR.
