Abstract
<h3>Abstract</h3> In the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L5/E5a interference environment, RTCA DO-292 proposes a model to compute the <i>C/N</i><sub>0</sub> degradation due to the presence of interference signals, such as Distance Measuring Equipment/TACtical Air Navigation (DME/TACAN), Joint Tactical Information Distribution System/Multifunctional Information Distribution System (JTIDS/MIDS), etc., and due to the application of a temporal blanker to mitigate their impact. The <i>C/N</i><sub>0</sub> degradation is modeled as a function of the blanker duty cycle, <i>bdc</i>, and the equivalent noise-level contribution of the non-blanked interference, <i>R<sub>I</sub></i>. However, in RTCA DO-292, the computation of these two terms has a reduced accuracy since a general statistical model of signal pulse collisions and an overbounded flat post-blanker pulsed interference signal Power Spectrum Density (PSD) are assumed. In this paper, the limitations of the applied pulse collisions mathematical model are commented, and the use of true post-blanker pulsed interference signal PSD is introduced through the application of the spectral separation coefficient. As a result, more accurate new formulas for <i>R<sub>I</sub></i> and <i>C/N</i><sub>0</sub> degradation are derived. The new formulas are verified through simulations for DME/TACAN signals.
