32. In a system having a GPS receiver, a plurality of antennas coupled to the GPS receiver, and knowledge of antenna orientation with respect to a frame of reference in which positions of satellites and the antennas are known, a method for detecting whether received signals are spoofing signals, the method comprising the steps of:
-
predicting a line-of-sight (LOS) from the antennas to a selected one of the satellites; determining one or more vectors between the antennas; measuring a LOS to a transmitter according to the one or more vectors and the phase differences between signals received at the antennas from the transmitter; computing a difference between the predicted LOS and the measured LOS; and comparing the computed difference to a statistical distribution of differences to establish a probability that the received signals are spoofing signals. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38)

39. In a system having a GPS receiver, a movable antenna coupled to the GPS receiver, an inertial reference system (IRS) tracking movement of the antenna with respect to a frame of reference in which positions of satellites and the antenna are known, a method for detecting whether received signals are spoofing signals, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a signal from a transmitter with the antenna at a first point in space and time; moving the antenna to a second point in space and time; receiving the signal from the transmitter with the antenna at the second point in space and time; measuring a phase difference between the signal received at the first point in space and time and the signal received at the second point in space and time; predicting a phase difference between the signal received at the first point in space and time and the signal received at the second point in space and time; computing a difference between the predicted phase difference and the measured phase difference; and comparing the computed difference to a statistical distribution of differences to establish a probability that the received signals are spoofing signals. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43)
