Abstract

The FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) implementation of an adaptive filter for narrow band interference excision in Global Positioning Systems is described. The algorithm implemented is a delayed LMS (Least Mean Squares) adaptive algorithm improved by incorporating a leakage factor, rounding and constant resetting of the filter weights. This was necessary as the original adaptive algorithm had stability problems : the filter weights did not remain fixed, and tended to drift until they overflowed, causing the filter response to degrade. Each model was first tested in Simulink, implemented in VHDL (Verilog Hardware Description Language) and then downloaded to an FPGA board for final testing. Experimental measurements of anti-jam margins were obtained.
