Attention-based Fusion of IQ and FFT Spectrograms with AoA Features for GNSS Jammer Localization

We propose an approach for detecting and classifying interference while estimating the distance, azimuth, and elevation of jamming sources. We evaluate 128 vision encoder and time-series models to identify the highest-performing methods for each task and introduce an attention-based fusion framework that integrates in-phase and quadrature (IQ) samples with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-computed spectrograms while incorporating 22 AoA features
to enhance localization accuracy.
