Abstract:
Loran-C is the most essential backup and supplementary system for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Continuous wave interference (CWI) is one of the main interferences in the Loran-C system, which will cause errors in the measurement of the time of arrival, thereby affecting positioning performance. The traditional adaptive notch filter method needs to know the frequency of CWI when removing it, and the number is limited. This paper presents a method based on sparseness to suppress the CWI in the Loran-C signal. According to the different morphological characteristics of the Loran-C signal and the CWI, we construct dictionaries suitable for the two components, respectively. We use the tunable Q-factor wavelet transform and the discrete cosine transform to make the two components obtain a good sparse representation in their respective dictionaries. Then, the two components are separated using the morphological component analysis theory. We illustrate this method using both synthetic data and actual data. A huge advantage of the proposed method is that there is no need to know the frequencies of the CWI for it can better cope with frequency changes of the CWI in the actual environments. Compared with the adaptive notch filter method, the results of the proposed method show that our approach is more effective and convenient.
