Abstract: A method for measuring certain parameters of the impulse response of a propagation channel involving emitters and reflectors that are fixed or mobile, and for detecting and determining the parameters regarding the position and kinematics of the emitters and reflectors, or for auto-locating the reception system implementing the invention, in a system comprising N sensors receiving signals from the emitters or from the reflection on the reflectors. The method determines an ambiguity function which couples the spatial analysis and the delay-distance/Doppler-kinematic analysis, and determines at least one sufficient statistic Ĉ(l,m,K) corresponding to the correlation between the known signal s(kTe) corresponding to the complex envelope of the signal emitted and the output of a filter w(l,m) where l corresponds to a temporal assumption and m corresponds to a frequency assumption. The method also determines the values of the pair (l,m) by comparing the value of the statistic for the pair (l,m) with a threshold value.

Abstract: A method of fighting interference in a frequency-hopping communication system is disclosed. The system has at least one main sensor and one or more auxiliary sensors. According to at least one embodiment, frequency-hopping signals are received. The frequency-hopping signals are arranged to include useful bands and one or more guard bands inserted between the useful bands, and a ratio of the useful bands to the guard bands being chosen according to a predetermined value of probability of interference interception. Signals of the inserted guard bands having a signal level greater than a predetermined threshold are selected. A set of spatial-filtering weightings are calculated according to a correlation matrix of noise plus jammers alone on the signals selected. Baseband signals of the received frequency-hopping signals are filtered by the set of the calculated spatial-filtering weightings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for spatial multiplexing and demultiplexing of radio signals. A multichannel transmitter and receiver is integrated in a base station and coupled to an antenna array. Using digital radio signals containing previously known or non-Gaussian sequences and arranged in frames, the spatial information about each mobile unit is estimated on the basis of the signal received by the receiver for the reception and transmission frequencies. This is done by known sequences or by blind source separation methods. The respective paths of each mobile unit with the power above a predetermined threshold is isolated by spatial filtering in the presence of multiple channel paths in order to provide spatial demultiplexing. Simultaneously, the intended signal is transmitted in the direction of the main path of each mobile unit while protecting each mobile unit from signals transmitted in the direction of other mobile units by spatial filtering with cancelling constraints in order to provide spatial multiplexing.

Abstract: The process according to the invention consists, in order to reduce the number of coefficients of the filters of the spatial part and the temporal part connected to the output of the spatial part, in jointly adapting the coefficients of the filters of each part using an adaptive algorithm according to the paths selected on the basis of a determined criterion. The coefficients are periodically recalculated at the rate of the known symbols in the learning sequences in order to minimize the estimation error apparent between a response signal (d(t)) and the receiver output signal (z(t)).

Abstract: A method for fighting interference in a communication system is disclosed where the links are of frequency-hopping type. The signal has several frequency time slots. The system has at least one main sensor and one or more auxiliary sensors, one or more guard band are inserted between the useful bands of the frequency-hopping signal. The total area of the inserted guard bands is chosen so as to satisfy a chosen value of probability of interference interception. The signals of the inserted guard bands are selected whose level is greater than a given threshold. A set of spatial-filtering weightings are determined, for each time slot of the signal, by taking account of the correlation matrix of the noise plus jammers alone on the signals selected. The baseband signals of the assemblage of extended blocks are filtered by the set of calculated weightings of the time slot so as to generate extended blocks devoid of interference.
