A Minimum Value Based Threshold Setting Strategy for Frequency Domain Interference Excision

We present a robust threshold setting strategy with modest computational complexity for frequency domain interference excision in direct sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) commu-nication systems. The proposed strategy calculates the threshold by multiplying the minimum value of the averaged squared magnitude with a predefined scaling factor. An analytical framework for choosing the scaling factor is developed based on the principle of constant false-alarm rate (CFAR). Numerical results indicate that the new strategy outperforms existing ones in a wide range of partial-band jamming scenarios.
