The use of ground-based transmitters (so-called pseudolites) for outdoor and indoor navigation has been under consideration since the origin of the Global Positioning System (GPS). However, one significant limitation of the use of code division multiple access (CDMA) was immediately obvious: one CDMA transmitter signal interferes with another CDMA transmitter signal. This is called the ""near-far problem."" Different methods have been studied in order to mitigate such jamming. This paper presents a new mitigation method based on a principle that can be summed up as follows: the signal and a delayed replica of the signal are broadcast by a ground transmitter antenna. At the receiver stage, the replica signal is used to eliminate the interference caused by the direct signal. This is called the double transmission technique (DTT), and it presents interesting performance features regarding interference mitigation. A signal processing technique corresponding to this method is presented in this paper, considering a GPS L1 C/A-code pseudolite. Performance simulations are also presented.
