Time-Frequency Receivers for Nonstationary Interference Excision in Spread Spectrum Communication Systems
Abstract
Time-Frequency distribution are being recognized as powerful tools in signal analysis and processing. Although time-frequency analysis has been of interest for some-time, several advances in recent years have broaden its application areas to include both civilian and military use. The capability of the time-frequency distributions to properly represent multiple component signals in time and frequency permits the development of new and efficient approaches for interference excision in direct sequence spread spectrum communication systems. This report addresses techniques for mitigating nonstationary interference in spread spectrum communication systems; and fast algorithms and efficient realizations of excision techniques based on time-frequency distributions. The scope of this effort is to develop technology to immunize the spread spectrum communication systems to smart jamming and demonstrate the ability to yield improved receiver performance in a highly nonstationary interference environment. This is achieved by utilizing the jammer temporal, spectral, and spatial characteristics to provide accurate and sufficient information leading to its full and effective excision.
