Talk:Selective availability anti-spoofing module

"SAASM-enabled receivers can also acquire the encrypted Y-code directly from satellite, without relying on local radio signals. This provides a substantially-increased resistance to GPS jamming, perhaps 10 to 20 db better than the PPS-SM system."

Can someone explain this statement? P(Y) is a radio signal, anyone can listen to it, although they might not find it useful. And when would you ever need to use "local radio signals"?

By "Local radio signals" they mean a ground based military radio that enables the GPS's for a mission. Remember this isnt a tom tom...

"This provides a substantially-increased resistance to GPS jamming, perhaps 10 to 20 db better than the PPS-SM system."

Im not sure why it is stated that WHERE the code comes from means it will take more or less power to jam it. I can't say that statement is accurate. 10db = 10x more power and 20db = 100x more power.

It doesn't take much to jam ANY GPS. Spoofing it is much much harder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.116.47.235 (talk) 07:12, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
