GNSS spoofing interference utilizes falsified navigation signals to launch attacks on GNSS systems, posing a significant threat to applications that rely on GNSS signals for positioning, navigation, and time services. Therefore, achieving effective localization of the sources causing spoofing interference is crucial in ensuring the secure operation of GNSS. This article proposes a method for locating GNSS spoofing interference sources using a moving array antenna. Firstly, the proposed method utilizes the inherent characteristics of the double-differenced carrier phase from the deception signals received by the array antenna to effectively extract the spoofing signals. Subsequently, by moving the antenna array, the original carrier phase single-difference data of multiple observation points for deception signals are fused to provide a cost function for direct localization of spoofing interference, and a solution method for the cost function is designed. The proposed method addresses the challenge of extracting and localizing GNSS spoofing interference weak signals, effectively avoiding the data correlation of traditional two-step methods for DOA estimation parameters and ensuring the location accuracy of spoofing interference and the robustness of the method. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated through simulation experiments, and its adaptability to factors such as errors in carrier phase measurements has been examined. The method exhibits strong applicability and is well-suited for the hardware platform of the GNSS nulling antenna, thereby enabling it to possess simultaneous capabilities in both anti-interference and spoofing interference localization.
In this paper, we present the design and implementation tests of a water vapor radiometer (WVR) suitable for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation. We describe the calibration method with an analysis of the sources of measurement errors. The experimental results show that the long-term measurement accuracy of the brightness temperature of the water vapor radiometer can reach 0.2 K under arbitrary ambient conditions by absolute calibration, receiver gain error calibration, and antenna feeder system temperature noise error calibration. Furthermore, we present a method for measurements of the calibration error of the oblique path measurement. This results in an oblique path wet delay measurement accuracy of the water vapor radiometer reaching 20 mm (within one month).
To address the challenge of microwave radiometer modeling in regions lacking radiosonde data, this study proposes a neural network retrieval method based on high-resolution the Final Reanalysis (FNL) reanalysis data and validates its feasibility. A microwave radiometer brightness temperature–profiles retrieval model was developed by the Back Propagation (BP) neural network, based on FNL reanalysis data from Qingdao, China. The model’s accuracy was evaluated by comparing retrieval results with synchronous radiosonde data, with an analysis of seasonal variations. Results indicate that the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of temperature profiles are 1.15 °C in the near-surface layer (0–2 km) and 2.05 °C in the mid-to-upper layers (>2 km). The comprehensive RMSE for relative humidity, water vapor density, and Integrated Water Vaper (IWV) are 17.27%, 0.96 g/m3, and 1.37 mm, respectively. Overall, the errors are relatively small, and the retrieval results exhibit strong spatiotemporal consistency with radiosonde data. The error increases most rapidly within the lower atmosphere (<2 km), with distinct seasonal differences observed. Temperature and relative humidity retrieval accuracies peak in summer, whereas water vapor density and IWV retrievals perform best in winter and worst in summer. This study confirms that reanalysis data–based modeling effectively addresses the issue of limited radiosonde coverage. This method is applicable to atmospheric remote sensing in regions lacking radiosonde data, such as oceans and plateaus. It provides a feasible solution to the regional limitations of microwave radiometer applications and expands the potential uses of reanalysis data.
This paper conducts a technical study on a method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data. After analyzing the impact of low-altitude wind shear on aircraft flight safety, a method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data is proposed. A statistical analysis of the sounding data from the test area over a period of 15 years from 2010 to 2024has been conducted, which includes the occurrence events and probability statistics of 1000m wind shear for all 12 months of the year. Simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the method for determining the occurrence threshold of wind shear based on historical sounding data in the test area, forming a method that can be extended to all altitude ranges of aircraft flight and all flight regions globally. This statistical method provides a technical foundation for the efficient detection of wind shear at local airports and enhances flight safety at these airports.
Accurate regional wind speed forecasting is critical yet challenging due to inherent spatiotemporal correlations and data non-stationarity. This paper proposes a hybrid framework combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. First, PCA extracts dominant spatial features from a regional wind field (9 × 9 grid), retaining 99.5% of the information to reduce redundancy. Next, an adaptive VMD strategy, optimized by the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), decomposes these components to mitigate temporal non-stationarity. High-correlation sub-signals are then fed into the LSTM predictor. Experimental results demonstrate that the framework achieves an average coefficient of determination () of approximately 0.41 in the first forecasting step. Crucially, it significantly mitigates error accumulation in multi-step forecasting, maintaining a stable of 0.39 in the third step. Conversely, complex spatiotemporal models like ConvLSTM achieve high initial accuracy but suffer severe degradation ( dropping from 0.70 to 0.24) alongside significantly higher computational overhead. The proposed strategy effectively prevents overfitting to high-frequency noise, ensuring a computationally efficient and robust solution for multi-step regional wind forecasting.
