Abstract:	Satellite navigation signals have interference protection to some degree due to their code structure. However, since signals transmitted from satellites reach the receiver antenna with a very low signal power, buried in noise, they are vulnerable to interference. Interference sources like in-car jammers block the navigation signal reception in their vicinity and degrade positioning performance, proportional to the distance, over a wide area. As novel and innovative transport systems rely on a precise and reliable position determination, the threat of interference should not be underestimated. The work presented in this paper analyses the interference caused by malicious use of in-car jammers and proposes an enhancement of automotive receivers in a way that interference can be detected and reported. Together with roadside interference detectors at designated locations it is envisaged to prosecute illegal jamming attempts.
