Global positioning system (GPS) is one of the key satellite-based radio technolo-gy providing navigational services on earth or near earth. The increasing usage of GPS applications in daily life has proved that students/researchers of many edu-cational departments including information and communication technology (ICT) are particularly interested to learn and visualize the GPS anti-jamming techniques in a simpler way in their major communication courses. It is a fact that GPS radio signal is vulnerable in various ways to jamming signals launched by malicious el-ements. The traditional available GPS anti-jamming techniques generally involve either added hardware and/or computational complexity which introduce difficul-ty for students to understand the basic concepts. As an alternative, this paper pre-sents a simpler GPS anti-jamming system kit based on L1-band (1.575 GHz) of GPS for education purpose. More specifically, the proposed antenna array, inte-grated with two couplers, cancels out the jamming signal in radio frequency (RF) domain using sum and difference patterns generated by the latter. The simulated and measured results, in terms of scattering parameters and power profiles, of the proposed system have shown that the jamming signal can be eliminated with less complexity. Eventually, the proposed GPS anti-jamming system has great poten-tial to be used in ICT related disciplines for learning and training purposes.

Purpose:The current study assessed the impact of full-game (FG) and time-on-pitch (TOP) procedures for global-positioning-system (GPS) analysis on the commonly used markers of physical performance in elite field hockey.Methods:Sixteen international male field hockey players, age 19–30, were studied (yielding 73 player analyses over 8 games). Physical activity was recorded using a 5-Hz GPS.Results:Distance covered, player load, maximum velocity, high-acceleration efforts, and distance covered at specified speed zones were all agreeable for both analysis procedures (P > .05). However, percentage time spent in 0–6 km/h was higher for FG (ES: –21% to –16%; P < .001), whereas the percentage time in all other speed zones (1.67–3.06 m/s, 3.06–4.17 m/s, 4.17–5.28 m/s, and > 6.39 m/s) and relative distance (m/min) were higher for TOP (ES: 8–10%, 2–7%, 2–3%, 1–1%, 0–1%, respectively; P < .001).Conclusions:These data demonstrate that GPS analysis procedures should be appropriate for the nature of the sport being studied. In field hockey, TOP and FG analysis procedures are comparable for distance-related variables but significantly different for time-dependent factors. Using inappropriate analysis procedures can alter the perceived physiological demand of elite field hockey because of “rolling” substitutions. Inaccurate perception of physiological demand could negatively influence training prescription (for both intensity and volume).
