CRS’s tri-band GPS antenna is the
world first tri-band GPS antenna to cover three GPS bands
(L1, L2 and L5). It is compact in size and has excellent
multipath rejection capabilities. This antenna eliminates
both co- and cross-polarization signals coming below the
horizon. Superior cross-polarization rejection (-20dB)
is achieved in upper hemisphere. The antenna is equipped
with a new type of vertical choke ring developed by CRS
(U.S. Patent 6,940,457 Sept. 6, 2005). The ring has identical performances
to conventional choke rings, but at a greatly reduced
size (25 percent smaller). Unlike conventional choke rings,
it is designed to be effective for all operating frequencies.
Typically, the multipath signal is in both polarizations.
For a good multipath resiliency, the antenna must have
minimal reception from the back size of the antenna for
both polarizations. CRS's tri-band antenna takes the best
countermeasure for this requirement.
