A New GNSS Spoofing Signal Power Control Algorithm for Receiver Sensors in Acquisition Phase and Subsequent Control

Satellite navigation spoofing technology has become a hotspot of interference technology research because of its significant threat and high concealment. In a spoofing scenario, suppressive interference is typically used to ensure that the target receiver sensor is in the unlocked and reacquisition state, and then spoofing is implemented. This method has a high feasibility, and the power of the spoofing signal affects the concealment and efficiency of spoofing. Currently, there is limited research involving the GNSS spoofing signal power control. Moreover, there is no systematic complete power control scheme, most of which is limited to qualitative or simulation, and the actual application effect is still unclear. Therefore, a new GNSS spoofing signal power control algorithm under the power constraints of the receiver sensor in the acquisition phase and the subsequent control is proposed. The experimental platform is designed to prove that compared with the conventional spoofing signal high power control algorithm, the new GNSS spoofing signal power control algorithm shortens Doppler frequency fluctuation time by 72.2% and reduces the range by 75.9%. The carrier-to-noise ratio of the received signal is less than the threshold of the receiver sensor, and the range of three-dimensional coordinates of Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF) is significantly reduced during the spoofing signal taking over receiver sensor, this shows that the new design of the GNSS spoofing signal power control algorithm can make spoofing behavior more hidden, and it will make it more difficult for the target receiver sensor to detect spoofing behavior. The designed algorithm can take over the receiver sensor stealthily with the help of suppressing interference and then pull the bias positioning results, which has good feasibility and effectiveness.
