First Claim
1. A method of enhanced GPS receiving by mitigating interference in reception of global positioning system (GPS) signals, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first antenna, a first signal comprising a desired signal component S1 and a jammer signal component J1;
receiving, from a second antenna, a second signal comprising a desired signal component S2 and a jammer signal component J2;
modifying the second signal so that jammer signal component J2 is substantially anti-phase with respect to jammer signal component J1; and
using the modified second signal to modify the first signal to create a third signal containing desired signal components S1 and S2 and in which jammer signal component J2 substantially cancels jammer signal component J1,wherein modifying the second signal comprises deterministically calculating a phase shift based on the amplitudes of the first, second, and third signals and applying the calculated phase shift to the second signal.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for mitigation of interference of GPS signals are disclosed providing selective mitigation of in-band interference implementing deterministic phase control. In one embodiment, a system for mitigating interference of GPS signals includes a pair of antennas, each receiving GPS signals that include both a desired signal component and a jammer signal component. The signal from one antenna is phase-shifted as needed to make it anti-phase with the signal from the other antenna, so that when the two signals are combined, the jammer signal components substantially cancel each other, leaving the desired signal components. Determining the phase shift required involves deterministically calculating the phase shift based on the amplitudes of the two input signals and the amplitude of the combined signal instead of the iterative techniques used in conventional systems.
