Tóm tắt

Digital beamforming (DBF) has been studied to obtain automatic beam steering towards desired signals and simultaneous elimination of multipath and jamming signals at GNSS receivers, which is made possible by spatial and temporal digital signal processing. In this paper, the limitations of conventional multipath and jamming suppression techniques, which have been proven and widely used in GPS, are investigated. Different DBF algorithms suitable for GNSS applications are investigated theoretically. New ideas for future development of DBF are presented. The implementation of digital beamforming in FPGA/DSP for practical application environments is also discussed.
