Abstract

In a GPS receiver, power is conserved by powering down P-code circuitry during and utilizing C/A code circuits during times when interfering signals, such as spoofing signals, are not detected. When spoofing is detected, the P-code circuitry is powered up so that the GPS receiver can continue to operate in the presence of spoofing.
