STAP compensation technique based on homomorphic filtering in GPS

Abstract

Space time adaptive processing (STAP) can be used to remove hostile jammers interfering for Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, especially in the presence of jammer multipath. However, the STAP filter can bring in distortion to the GPS signal because it does not have a uniform frequency response across the operating band, which would dramatically reduce the accuracy of the users' position. Based on the homomorphic filtering a new method is proposed to compensate the distortion caused by the STAP filter. Finally, simulation results show the proposed method is effective.
