Abstract
It is already known that the performance of narrowband interference adaptive filtering in DS spread spectrum systems is additionally degraded in the presence of a frequency hopped jamming signal compared to the case with CW interference. Even so, the adaptive filter can be rather efficient because during the hopping interval, while the jamming signal parameters are constant, the filter adjusts its weights; and if the hopping rate is not too high, there are time periods when the interfering signal is suppressed. In order to have a better insight into the performance of these systems, we analyze the DS spread spectrum receiver behavior, when the jamming signal frequency is continuously changing (chirp signal). We find that this is a reasonable step for a jammer that is trying to be more efficient. In such a case, a two-sided filter structure shows worse overall performance than a prediction error structure. As the jamming frequency sweeping rate or bandwidth is increased, the system performance is degraded. The analysis provides an insight into how much the system performance will be degraded as a function of the interfering (frequency sweeping) signal parameters. >
