CRS has developed Controlled Radiation Pattern Arrays
for GPS applications with anti--jamming capability to be
installed on vehicles or aircrafts. The key factor in
the array's performance is the number of antenna
elements. CRS CRPAs are 7-element active phased arrays
capable of nulling 6 jammers. CRS CPRA uses a full polarization
scheme (RHCP/LHCP, vertical-horizontal, or a combination
of both), which significantly increases its nulling effectiveness.
It prepares for all types of jammers by providing all
types of polarizations for each elements, i.e., linear
(V/H), circular (RHCP/LHCP), and elliptical. Spatial correlation
is a negative factor in CRPA; the array elements in a
conventional array must be placed far enough (at least
half a wavelength) apart. A CRS CRPA utilizes novel EBG
(Electromagnetic Band Gap) substrates to mitigate the
mutual coupling effects between the array elements. This
allows a 7-element CRPA to have less than 200mm diameter
(conventional CRPA occupies 360mm diameter). The smaller
CRPA can replace current FRPAs in many DoD applications,
which currently cannot provide A/J capabilities. This
antenna is also well-suited for commercial applications
where digital beamforming is needed.
