The weakness of ADS-B signals makes it vulnerable to jamming. In order to suppress jamming, the paper proposes an ADS-B anti-jamming approach with low-complexity based on a cross-antenna array. First, down-sampling the digital IF signals received by array, and estimating the covariance matrix using the down-sampled snapshots. Because of the different duration and different features of DOAs between ADS-B 1090ES signals and jamming, the larger eigenvalues of the estimated covariance matrix mainly consist of jamming. Then the array weight vector could be conducted by power inversion algorithm based on the covariance matrix obtained from the first step. Finally, jamming can be nulled by the array weight vector. Thus the proposed method would almost only suppress jamming and the output SINR would be improved sharply. Down-sampling reduces the complexity of the algorithm. Simulation and experiments results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
