Özet

Global Positioning System (GPS) has found wide application in many areas of our daily life. However, it has a very week signal making it vulnerable to external attacks like blocking, jamming or spoofing. Jamming is a technique that blocks the GPS from receiving location signals making it nonfunctional. In this paper, several Electronic Jamming methods are introduced and a comparison is done between them to observe which of them has the most jamming effect on the GPS receiver. The methods that will be analyzed are Pulse Jamming (PJ), Spot Jamming (SJ), Barrage Noise Jamming (BNJ) and Sweep Jamming (SWJ). The Jamming signals are modelled using MATLAB and their effect on the GPS receiver is quantified by observing their Bit Error Rate (BER) for different Jamming to Signal ratio.
