However, jamming interferes with navigation, emergency services and aviation systems, endangering lives and disrupting legitimate operations. Most countries strictly prohibit the sale, possession and use of GNSS jammers, with heavy fines and criminal charges for violations. Their use undermines trust in transportation systems and can have severe legal and technical consequences.
The cognitelligent systems from YOTASYS detect illegal GNSS jamming devices with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The monitored radio spectrum covers all GNSS bands (or higher frequencies) and includes the classic communication bands of 4G and 5G mobile networks and wireless networks, plus special frequency allocations such as satellite networks (LEOS) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The Y9860A AI-enabled Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA)
The Y9860A is high-performance, state-of-the-art hardware for AI algorithm processing and deep-learning inference, developed to work with a modern spectrum analyzer board, the Anritsu MS27200A, over a high-performance link. Its embedded graphics processing unit (CPU/GPU) runs real-time neural-network signal processing (CNN) algorithms in software, with room for additional, specialized signal analysis development.
The GPU is one of the most widely used processor types for machine learning, so the Y9860A significantly reduces the effort for developers to create autonomous signal identification, modulation recognition, interference mitigation and many other machine-learning applications for RF technologies. It analyzes an RF signal source and can also generate IQ data files and reports. Thanks to the AI capabilities of the integrated software, RF signals can be inspected in a sophisticated, modern way.
In one single box, the Y9860A includes numerous functions, such as interference recognition, and open-source APIs. The system comes with complete software packages and is based on the Linux Ubuntu operating system, with drivers, FPGA firmware and everything required for professional operation. It is the base for customer-specific software development.
The YOTASYS Y9860A is an innovative, modern solution for a high-performance portable setup to capture, analyze and report RF signals. Based on the IQ streaming of the MS27200A, it extends RF measurement and investigation up to 9 GHz (or higher), with unique features for detecting and analyzing unknown or unwanted signals.
A single Y9860A sensor can cover a complete road area and monitor it for suspicious GNSS jamming activity.
Easy graphical user interface
The Y9860A software is flexible and modular, and can be tailored to customer-specific needs. YOTASYS also develops customer-specific software and tools for fast prototyping and installation.
A web interface lets the end user operate and configure the Y9860A, with a comprehensive, application-specific dashboard of charts, buttons, status LEDs and map information.
The Y9860A integrates easily into existing monitoring solutions. Alarms can be tailored to specific interfaces such as HTTP, MQTT or SNMP.
In addition to radio signal analysis, YOTASYS has developed the recognition of Swiss and European vehicle registration plates (LPR), as well as other text information such as container numbers or identification marks.
