ABSTRACT 

In this paper, an interference method based on signal processing is proposed. The approach is based on utilizing the maximum likelihood properties of the received signal. The approach is built on maximizing the probability of the desired data. The GPS data, which is constructed using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation, is transmitted as “1’s” and as “0’s.” carried on 1575.42MHz carrier called the L1 frequency. The statistics of the GPS data and interference are utilized in terms of their distribution and variance. The statistics are used to update (adaptively) the forgetting factor (Lambda) of the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) filter. The proposed method is called Maximum Likelihood Variable Forgetting Factor (ML VFF). The adaptive update takes on assigning lambda to the maximum of the probabilities of the symbols based on the statistics mentioned.
