Your academic rigor, combined with your enthusiasm for cutting-edge technology, allows you to approach problems with a unique and insightful lens. At Saab, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with experienced engineers and specialists, gaining invaluable practical experience while making a tangible contribution to our growth and development.

Background

GNSS-jamming and spoofing is a known and increasing problem in society.
There are a diversity of techniques to handle this problem documented in research papers and literature.

Description of the master thesis

The primary goal is to evaluate a combination of suppression techniques with a jammed/spoofed GNSS-scenario simulator, based on third-party tools (like Matlab Satellite Communication toolbox, Phased Array System toolbox and other).

The most promising spoofing suppression techniques are a combination of multi-channel receiving, direction of arrival, pulse compression and other dedicated signal processing.

The secondary goals may be to implement the most effective techniques on inhouse real-time hardware and open-source software (i.e. GNSS-SDR or FGI-GSRx). This secondary goal is meant to be done in follow-up work or for a two person team.
