Jammer suppression in DS-CDMA arrays using independent component analysis

We propose using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) as an advanced pre-processing tool for blind suppression of interfering jammer signals in direct sequence spread spectrum communication systems utilizing antenna arrays. The role of ICA is to provide a jammer-mitigated signal to the conventional detection. If the jammer signal is weak or absent, preprocessing by ICA is not advisable. Therefore we also consider two possible switching schemes, called pre-switching and post-switching, which activate the ICA-based jammer canceller only when it is expected to improve conventional detection. ICA-RAKE pre-switching is less complex, while post-switching performs better, especially when the jammer is pulsed in nature. Simulations are given to illustrate the achieved performance gains for single- and multi-path channels.
