FREQUENCY DOMAIN NLMS ALGORITHM FOR ENHANCED JAM RESISTANT GPS RECEIVER

—An optimal beamformer attempts to increase SNR at the array output by adapting its pattern to minimize some cost function. This is to say that, the cost function is inversely associated with the quality of the signal. Therefore by minimizing the cost function we can maximize signal at the array output. The primary optimal beamforming technique discussed in this paper will be MMSE, LMS, Frequency Domain LMS for GPS multipath reduction. In case of a GPS satellite, the DOA of the desired signal is mathematically known because the position of a satellite in an orbit is fixed at a particular time instant. So in some particular adaptive antenna algorithm the DOA of the desired signal is directly given as input.
