Hybrid radio frequency system with distributed anti-jam capabilities for navigation use

摘要

A radio frequency navigation receiver has analog and digital sections. In the analog section, a CRPA antenna module receives global navigation signals and provides two steerable nulls for jammer suppression. An analog RF module has an amplifier and a YIG filter for amplifying and filtering an antenna output signal with jammer suppression. An analog receiver receives and downconverts an RF output signal from the RF system with additional jammer suppression. The analog receiver provides broadband signal filtering with at least 30 dB rejection and narrow band signal filtering with at least 45 dB rejection. In the digital section, a digital receiver module receives and converts an analog receiver output signal to generate a digital output signal for navigation control. A configuration manager processor responds to detected jammer signals to configure the receiver modules accordingly.
