GNSS radio frequency interferences (RFI) sources are often classified in two categories in the civil aviation community: aeronautical and non-aeronautical RFI. Aeronautical RFI sources gather systems with an aeronautical radio navigation system (ARNS) frequency allocation which radiate in or near the GNSS band and consequently affectthe GNSS performance. Non-aeronautical sources include systems with no ARNS frequency allocation also radiating in the GNSS band, either voluntarily or involuntarily. To precisely estimate the impact of RFI sources on GNSS receiver has one main stake. Indeed, it allows to assess the GNSS receiver capability to meet minimum International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) performance objectives in nominal RFI environment or in nonnominal RFI environment (during jamming operations for instance).
