1 The Case for Recording IF Data for GNSS Signal Forensic Analysis Using a SDR Professor Gérard Lachapelle & Dr. Ali Broumandan PLAN Group, University of Calgary PLAN.geomatics.ucalgary.ca IGAW 2016-GNSS Technology Advances in a Multi- Constellation Framework Rome, January 2016

2 Motivation GNSS signals increasingly subject to intentional interference (Jamming and spoofing) Concern for safety of life applications and protection of the citizen Receiver manufacturers continuously implement countermeasures However, sophistication of jamming and spoofing increasing continuously as well What can be done if incidents & accidents occur? 2/17

3 Spoofing Scenario - Transportation Authentic SV1 Authentic SV2 Authentic SV3 Authentic SV4 Spoofing Transmitter GNSS antenna Actual Trajectory 3/17

4 GNSS Data Capture and Sampling Digital baseband Samples (5-50 Msps) Signal processing RF Front-end Acquisition Measurement and PVT engine RF Down- Converter ADC Tracking Measurements PVT Solution Tracking Outputs ( Hz) Measurements (up to 100 Hz) Position outputs (up to 100 Hz) 4/17

5 Processed Data Limitations (1) Positions: (i) Useful to record locations and tracks (ii) Algorithm cannot be changed post-mission (PM) (iii) Information limited (iv) Low storage requirement (2) Code, carrier phase and related data: (i) Signal processing techniques used at data collection no reprocessing possible (ii) Reliability & accuracy analysis, some multipath detection and atmospheric studies possible (ii) Up to a few MB/h at 1s data rate for 8 SVs (iii) Common in reference networks (e.g. IGS) 5/17

6 IF Sampling 1. Allows complete signal re-processing with postmission method of choice using a SDR (Software Defined Receiver), hence independence from specific receiver 2. More detailed science (e.g. ionosphere, environment) and detailed forensic analysis in case of signal issues (e.g. jamming, spoofing) 3. Very high to extremely high storage requirements 6/17

7 Actual In-Lab Interference Test LOS authentic signals combined with interference signals generated with HWS Combined signal is passed to a three-way splitter Two commercial receivers acquired and tracked signals RF front-end samples and stores IF data Interference power increased by 5 db almost every 30 s 7/17

8 Receiver Position Solution Position solution denied Position Solution errors as a function of time for Receiver 1 Sky plot of available satellite The receivers initially tracks 10 PRNs Navigation solutions denied for 150 s What is the reason? 8/17

9 Receiver Quality Monitoring Receiver 1 Receiver 2 Receiver 1 & 2 quality measures also failed for about 150s There is no way to understand what happened to the signal (e.g. jamming/spoofing, signal denied?) 9/17

10 Forensic SDR Structure Different analyses at different SDR stages Structure of hostile signals determined through IF sample access If antenna array used, signal direction and location can be determined 10/17

11 AGC Monitoring Investigation IF sample analysis shows that standard deviation (STD) of IF samples (AGC gain) is increasing This reveals the presence of an strong signal source nearby The jammer might be moving since the IF samples power varies with time STD of IF samples More analyses can be done to characterize the nature of the signal 11/17

12 Acquisition Level Detection Several tests can be performed to determine the nature of the interference source Spectral and signal structure analyses Spatial processing A normal test is to check for a possible spoofing attack AGC level investigation Number of detected PRNs Correlation peak analyses Signal quality monitoring test Correlator Power Spoofing Peak Detec0on Threshold Authen0c Peak Delay (Chips) Cross ambiguity function Analysis revealed the presence of a strong spoofing signal Jafarnia, A., S.

Proceedings of Fourth Internantional Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of the Galileo Programme, Prague, 4-6 Dec 2013, 8 pages. 12/17

13 Signal Classification and Spoofing After spoofing detection, several approaches can be used to classify and remove the spoofing signals Spatial processing methods (e.g. Antenna array or moving antenna) can be utilized to classify signals Mitigation Placing detected signals in spoofing and authentic signal groups, successive spoofing cancellation method can be used to remove spoofing signals and recover authentic ones Before mitigation After mitigation Broumandan, A., A.

15 Spoofing Detection and Mitigation Position error wrt authentic position Position error wrt authentic position The SDR detects the attack type, its PRNs and finally provides authentic and spoofed position solutions which can be used to localize spoofing source 15/17

18 Conclusions Is there infrastructure worth protecting with this IF data recording approach? Are the advantages worth the benefits and costs? IF yes, how long should the IF data be kept? If not, what would be the alternatives? relying on evolving in-receiver solutions? Note: Papers quoted in the presentation are on the PLAN Group website 18/17
