GPS signals are typically weak and thus easily interfered with by other radio
transmissions in the same or adjacent frequency bands. Interference can be especially
problematic when the GPS receiver is co-located with a communications device that
includes a radio transmitter, such as a cellular telephone. The transmitted signal
from the co-located communication device can overload (or saturate) the GPS receiver
front-end designed to receive weak GPS signals. In such a situation no useful information
can be extracted from the received GPS signals originating from the GPS satellites.
Described herein is a novel apparatus and method that can be used to minimize the
effect of co-located interference on a GPS receiver.
