Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for use in a wireless communication base station which provides real-time, continuous detection of in-band jammers with negligible impact on base station cost. In addition to providing jammer detection, the use of the invention to provide improved hardware and system diagnostic capabilities is presented. The jammer detection apparatus utilizes automatic gain control techniques, digital sampling, and digital signal processing to identify anomalous frequency components in the received power spectral density curve. Also described are the use of complex sampling, the complex fast Fourier transform (FFT), and Hanning windows to improve jammer detection capabilities. A method of estimating the location of in-band jammers is described using the computed received power spectral density curves of multiple base stations.
