Mitigation of chirp interference in NavIC signals using NWPR and SNV estimator

Abstract Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) makes it very difficult for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals to work properly and remains safe. This makes positioning less accurate and reliable. This study looks at the current methods for finding and reducing RFI, with a focus on the IRNSS S-band and L5-band, because it covers the whole world. In this, how the chirp interference affects signal tracking by measuring the Carrier-to-Noise Ratio ( C / N 0 ) using in-phase and quadrature-phase correlator outputs under both statistical and estimated settings. The narrowband-wideband power ratio (NWPR) approach boosts effective C / N 0 by 11.37 dB-Hz for the S-band signal and 12.48 dB-Hz for the L5-band signal, and compares it to the statistical C / N 0 value and the Signal to Noise variance estimator C / N 0 .
