AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL RF GAIN CALIBRATION AND CONTINUOUS JAMMING MEASUREMENT

A system and method provide automatic RF path gain calibration independent of RF interference levels to preserve solution trust capabilities. After a system is powered ON, or a new antenna is attached (hot swap), a smart antenna assembly (110) combined with a jammer power estimator (130) within an R...

Zusammenfassung:	A system and method provide automatic RF path gain calibration independent of RF interference levels to preserve solution trust capabilities. After a system is powered ON, or a new antenna is attached (hot swap), a smart antenna assembly (110) combined with a jammer power estimator (130) within an RF receiver functions to autonomously measure internal gains within the RF path, calibrate the new antenna installation, and thereby measure a level of interference associated with the external environment from that point forward. A controller (132) commands the antenna calibration retrieving antenna details and RF path gain calibration while measuring local jamming at the receiver input. Should the controller determine a level of jamming effectiveness is present, it offers a user a display of the local jamming levels enabling the user accurate theater decision making regarding the accuracy and availability of desirable signal.
