A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921223B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for detecting spoofing attacks in a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The method involves receiving signals through multiple antennas and conducting various authentication procedures to determine the authenticity of the navigation signals. These procedures include measuring pseudorange values, double differences, and carrier-to-noise ratios to identify potential spoofing signals. By analyzing these parameters and comparing them against predefined thresholds, the system can differentiate between authentic navigation signals and spoofing attempts.

Furthermore, the patent also describes a receiver equipped with multiple antennas and a processor to implement the authentication procedures outlined in the method. The receiver is designed to measure pseudorange values, carrier-to-noise ratios, and carrier phase measurements to assess the integrity of the received signals. By utilizing a combination of these measurements and predefined thresholds, the receiver can effectively detect and respond to spoofing attacks in real-time. This technology aims to enhance the security and reliability of GNSS receivers by providing a robust mechanism for identifying and mitigating potential spoofing threats, ensuring the accuracy of location-based services and navigation systems.
