Loctronix Advances GNSS Integrity Monitoring with HGX

For Immediate Release
Loctronix Advances GNSS Integrity Monitoring with the HGX
Interference Detection System
− Real-time interference identification and profiling solution for early detection,
characterization, and response −
WOODINVILLE, WA – September 10, 2014 − Loctronix® Corporation, a provider of positioning,
navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions for GNSS-challenged environments, unveiled the HGX Interference
Detection System (IDS) for identifying and monitoring intentional and unintentional interference sources.
The IDS will be demonstrated September 10-11 at the Institute of Navigation annual meeting GNSS+ 2014,
in Tampa, Florida.
“The IDS can detect sources of interference ranging between 5 dB and 60 dB GNSS Jamming to Signal (J/S)
ratio. Featuring a novel profiling function, the IDS not only detects, but can identify the type of interference
given a database of known/previously recorded profiles,” stated Michael Mathews, Loctronix’ CEO and
Founder.
According to Mathews, “the greater dependence of GNSS within critical infrastructure including,
transportation, communications, finance and the growing availability of jammers requires new tools to
respond to potential threats. The IDS is the first tool to combine the powerful capabilities of Loctronix
Spectral Compression Positioning™ (SCP) technology for identification and characterization of signals with
traditional GNSS signal processing to provide full situational awareness of GPS/GNSS operations. The IDS
system will benefit government, military, and commercial/industrial applications wherever there is a critical
dependence upon quality GNSS data.”
The IDS was developed using the Loctronix HGX hybrid sensor toolkit along with the company’s ASR2300 ASR Workbench software defined radio platform. The standard implementation supports L1 GNSS
bands and measurement rates of 10 measurements per second. Partner licensed custom/solutions can
support multiple bands (e.g. L2, L5) with greater bandwidths and measurement rates. Multiple sensitivity
modes enable monitoring of sub-thermal and high-power interference. The HGX toolkit API will be
available for specialization of the system for custom/embedded applications and adaptation to other
hardware platforms.
