Abstract: T his paper presents a new algor ithm based on the power inv ersion ( PI ) and the linearly
constrained minimum variance ( L CM V ) . T his alg orithm is capable of adjusting the weig hts of the an
tenna ar ray in real time to r espond to and improve the g lobal positioning system ( G PS) r eceived signals
coming from the desired directions and at the same time to hig hly suppress the jammers coming from the
other directions. T he simulation is performed for fixed and moving jammers. I t indicates that this struc
tur e can g ive deeper nulls, mo re t han 115 dB depths for fix ed jammers and more than 94 dB depths for
mov ing jammers.
