Abstract
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) becomes vulnerable in a challenging environment, among which spoofing is the most dangerous threat. Meaconing, as the most convenient way to conduct spoofing, is widely studied around the world, and also leads to lots of research into corresponding anti-spoofing techniques. This paper develops a semi-hardware meaconing platform and proposes a novel GPS meaconing spoofing detection method based on Improved Ratio combined with Carrier-to-noise Moving variance (C/N0 − MV). The effectiveness has been validated theoretically and experimentally. The proposed method is proven useful when the meaconing signal has 5 dB power gain over the authentic signal, presenting 98% detection rate whereas the classic Signal quality monitoring (SQM) method with the Ratio metric presents only 30%.
