Summary: This paper studies parameters of the snow-ice cover and forest ground using the integrated approach based on global navigation satellite system reflectometry. The results show that by analyzing the amplitude and time response of satellite navigation signals, along with numerical simulation and local weather data, it is possible to evaluate the current state and predict the dynamic development of these layers.

Summary: An algorithm for detecting coherence in CYGNSS mission delay-Doppler maps is presented, using estimates of power spread within the maps to flag coherence. Application of the algorithm to a large dataset shows that approximately 8.9% of inland returns are coherent, mostly associated with the presence of water bodies.

Summary: This paper introduces a method using GNSS interference signals to protect against unintentional drones over a wide area. The algorithm adjusts the time offset of the signal generator to scan a wider measurement domain. Results show that the defensive signals can deceive multiple drones to the center of the sweep region.

Summary: This study investigates the potential application of G.654.C optical fiber for O-band transmission in the wavelength range of 1270 nm to 1330 nm. Fiber samples at the upper end of the cable cutoff manufacturing distribution are used for modeling and experimentation. The results suggest that multipath interference (MPI) generation in bend conditions representative of cable deployment has minimal to negligible impact on transmission. Transmission experiments at 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s using commercial IMDD transceivers demonstrate longer transmission with increased power margin compared to standard G.652 fiber, thanks to lower O-band attenuation and no adverse impacts from MPI.

Summary: This paper proposes a DOA estimation algorithm for satellite interference sources based on frequency domain covariance matrix reconstruction (FDCMR) to address various types of active interference that may occur in the satellite navigation positioning process. The algorithm can estimate the DOA of coherent signals from multiple frequency points under low SNR conditions. Simulation experiments and comparisons with other algorithms validate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm.

Summary: The multipath effect in GNSS can be extracted using GNSS interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) to obtain environment-related features. However, traditional GNSS-IR methods have limitations in retrieving environmental features. To address this, we proposed an improved method that searches for the proper satellite elevation angle range to improve snow-depth retrievals.

Summary: This article introduces a hybrid deep neural network model based on deep learning for wind speed retrieval using global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) technology. A bias correction method based on cumulative distribution function (CDF) matching is also introduced. The verification shows that the retrieval accuracy of the model is improved at high wind speeds and demonstrates the ability to effectively mitigate retrieval bias on a global scale.

Summary: This study proposes a method for wind speed retrieval using a random forest algorithm for Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) data. By comparing CYGNSS data with soil moisture active passive (SMAP) data, certain deviations were found in the CYGNSS young sea, limited fetch (YSLF) data product for high winds. The random forest model was trained using SMAP as the ground truth and applied to the wind speed retrieval of CYGNSS data. Experimental results showed that the random forest algorithm improved retrieval accuracy and eliminated noise in the CYGNSS YSLF wind speed data. The study also investigated the impact of different input parameter combinations and found that an 11-parameter model achieved optimal performance. This provides valuable reference for rapid near-real-time retrieval of tropical cyclones using CYGNSS.

Summary: This paper introduces a new GNSS signal design called Quinary Offset Carrier modulation (QOC) which offers different pulse waveform options through selecting different modulation parameters. The spectra and autocorrelation characteristics of QOC modulations are investigated, showing similar performance to traditional BOC modulation. QOC modulation provides a new option for satellite navigation signal design.

Summary: As the satellite navigation system, GNSS, is widely used, the vulnerability to spoofing attacks is increasing, posing a threat to the credibility of navigation, positioning, and timing (PNT) services. Satellite navigation signal authentication technology is an emerging means to improve signal anti-spoofing and an important research focus. China plans to develop the next-generation BDS with secure and credible PNT services. This paper discusses the principles, technical architecture, and development history of satellite navigation signal authentication, and proposes a BDS authentication service system architecture to support its future development.

Summary: In this study, a new method for sea-level estimation using signal strength indicator (SSI) data in GNSS observation files was proposed. It was found that the proposed method could accurately estimate sea levels with a precision similar to the traditional SNR method. Additionally, the sea-level results derived from the proposed method were applied to estimate ocean tides, and the coefficients for several main tides showed good agreement when determined by different data.

Summary: This study compares three different electromagnetic scattering models for GNSS-R and finds that these models have a certain level of agreement with CYGNSS data in terms of reflectivity and DDM structure. However, the models show slight deviations in elevation and smoothness, indicating a need for further improvement.
