Electromagnetic vector sensor noise mitigation

Abstract

A radio receiver is made much more immune to jamming signals. A vector EM sensor, in a 2-dimensional (3-axis sensor) or 3-dimensional (6-axis sensor) sensor configuration, is combined with a unique digital rotation to a preferred direction to create a new reference channel and, using an advanced frequency domain noise mitigation algorithm or other noise cancellation algorithm, can effectively reject jamming and other interference signals and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (20-40 dB) and the receiving performance of the receiver. The method can cancel both near-field and far-field interference and improve accuracy for various applications concerned with establishing the direction, or bearing, to a source. A communication receiver with the vector sensor and the cancellation algorithm has unique anti-jamming capabilities even for multiple jamming sources.
