  1. Modeling GPS Adaptive Nulling Receivers Ken Sherman (Satellite Software), Haroon Rashid (AGI), Trevor Stief (AGI)

  2. SATSOFT Satellite Software • AGI business partner specializing in antennas • Develops antenna modeling software (SATSOFT) • Developing a series of antenna plug-ins for stk & ntk • www.satsoft.com • Contact Ken Sherman (sales at satsoft dot com)

  3. Overview • Plug-In Architecture • Array Design • PA GUI • Nulling Algorithms • Null Formation • Scenarios • Results • Future Work • Conclusions

  4. Antenna Plug-In Architecture Link Analysis & Reports Receivers, Transmitters & Jammers stk GUI Panel 2D/3D Contours STK Plug-In Analysis & Pattern Computation Plug-In GUI Antenna Geometry Antenna Beamformer Pattern Contours Pattern Cuts

  5. Wide Range of Antennas Supported by Plug-In • Active & passive receiving antennas • Active & passive transmitting antennas • Beam steering and nulling • Arbitrary polarization (LP, CP, etc)

  6. Receiver Equivalent Active Antenna Lossless Antenna  L1 L2 Lr F1, G1 Active Receiving Antenna

  7. Features of Phased Array Plug In • Quickly design arrays for any receiver or transmitter in stk & ntk • Planar, linear, and cylindrical (conformal) array geometries • Circular, elliptical, and polygonal apertures • Shaped beam phase and/or amplitude synthesis • Adaptive nulling • Taylor circular, rectangular, and Baylis low sidelobe aperture tapers • Several element models • Linear & circular polarization

  8. Designing & Analyze the Array Define: • Size & shape of aperture • Number & position of elements • Type of radiating elements • Nulling algorithm, if any Perform: • Static pattern analysis

  9. Phased Array User Interface

  10. Adaptive Nulling Algorithms • LMS steepest descent • Howells-Applebaum • Sample Covariance Matrix Inversion

  11. Forming a Pattern Null

  12. STK Scenarios • SATCOM Link with Jammer on Airplane • GPS receiver with single jammer

  13. Un-Adapted Pattern

  14. Jammer Adapted Pattern

  15. 3D Antenna Pattern

  16. Future Work • Phased array digital beamformer • Phased array interface to future stk/radar module • Reflector model (physical optics) • Wire antenna model (moment method) • Scripting (nulling algorithms, etc)

  17. Conclusions • Flexible antenna plug-in architecture for stk & ntk • New phased array plug-in under development • Improvement of s/n by nulling a jammer • Future work Challenges: • Accurate gain = pattern integration = cpu time • Providing visual feedback • Easy-to-use but comprehensive GUI
