Signal Quality Monitoring Aspects in GNSS Signals Affected by Evil Waveforms

Evil waveforms (EWF) are anomalies in the GNSS transmitted signals that can degrade significantly the accuracy of the PVT solution. The cross-correlation function of the incoming signal disturbed by EWF distortion and the locally-generated code signal is obtained analytically for threat models TM-A, TM-B and TM-C. These results are useful to evaluate efficiently the performance of EWF detectors, namely the detectability and hazard regions.
