Method of adaptively mitigating common template multi-channel wireless interference

摘要

A method of mitigating interference in a wireless signal of interest (SOI) received on an active frequency channel due to a common template multi-channel jamming attack includes selecting at least one reference channel from among a plurality of monitored frequency channels in which correlated jamming patterns are present without the SOI. The method further includes generating a plurality of weights according to data obtained from the active and reference channels, and applying an adaptive digital filter to the active channel according to the generated weights. The monitored frequency channels can be centered about the active frequency channel. The selection of reference channels can be varied and optimized. The data from each reference channel can be used to create a single virtual antenna tap or a plurality thereof. Assignment of the active channel can be time-varied to match a hopping pattern of a frequency hopping SOI.
