CRPxTM key features & benefits
Foundational antenna array technology
Patented DielectriXTM technology
Creates electrically small antenna elements with minimum near field & mutual coupling to produce arrays 25% the footprint of competitor CRPA designs.
Precision manufacturing produces antenna elements that are near-identical thereby ensuring PCV consistency across each antenna element, precise matching, and more phase-stable and repeatable array behaviour as a result.
Antenna elements tightly tune to the GNSS bands to filter out adjacent band interference (clutter from L-band, RADAR signals etc.).
Multi-filar helical antenna design
Consistent cardioid radiation pattern maximises satellite tracking - improves signal quality (C/N₀), reduces Time to First Fix (TTFF), and reduces the error margin in positioning calculations.
Excellent circular polarisation purity (low axial ratio), significantly reduces the impact of multi-path interference. Particularly relevant on ships or offshore platforms where sea-surface reflections are strong and angularly distinct from line-of-sight (LOS).
High-linearity RF design
Filters out strong jammers before they can saturate the GNSS receiver (AGC hijacking) or drive the RF front-end components into non-linear operation.
Dedicated array per band
Provides independent protection for high (L1) and low (L2/L5) bands to prevent crosstalk distortion and saturation in the GNSS receiver.
CRPxTM performance
Designed and validated in conjunction with Defence partners.
6 nulls/band; 12 nulls total
2-4x more than the competition
>50dB suppression; J/S >100dB
10x better than the competition
Dual-band/multi-constellation
Dual-band (L1/E1, L2/L5/E5a+b), supporting GPS and Galileo for wider satellite diversity as well as C/A, L2C, P/Y and M-code.
Enables tracking of more satellites across the sky, and reduces error margin in positioning calculations.
Non-blocking
No limit on the number of simultaneous jammers, clutter and multi-path interference that can be handled.
In contrast, complex attacks that are temporally-varying, spatially diverse, and changing at a fast rate can quickly exhaust the processing resources of competitor CRPAs leading them to fail (DoS attack).
Comprehensive anti-jamming
Adapts reception pattern dynamically in realtime to mitigate jamming threats, including:
-
Narrow-band high-power continuous wave (CW) jammers.
-
Wideband chirp/swept jammers that overpower the GNSS signal.
-
Tactical (temporal amplitude) jammers that target GNSS receiver Automatic Gain Control (AGC hijacking).
-
Pulse/blink jammers that seek to break GNSS lock.
-
Airborne jammers at or near to boresight which makes them harder to null without compromising the GNSS signals.
GNSS signal linearity
Does not reshape, clip, notch, or re-synthesise the GNSS waveform in any way thereby delivering a clean, linear RF signal to the GNSS receiver.
Enables use with GNSS receiver anti-spoofing algorithms that employ signal processing to detect & flag anomalies.
In contrast, competitor CRPA designs often regenerate the GNSS signal post filtering hence creating anomalies that look like spoofing. To avoid false positives, the anti-jamming and anti-spoofing algorithms in GNSS receivers have to be turned off, which undermines the end-end resilience of the GNSS system.
Phase stable
Especially engineered using our DielectriX technology to ensure minimal phase variation, as well as consistent group delay over wide azimuth variations thereby enabling use with phase-based GNSS systems such as RTK for high-precision positioning.
Competitor CRPAs often distort or regenerate the GNSS waveform hence preventing their use with phase-based GNSS systems.
Galileo OSNMA compliant
Fully transparent signal processing chain ensures that OSNMA messaging is passed transparently through to the receiver.
Competitor CRPAs often regenerate the GNSS waveform post-processing, resulting in an output signal that is no longer bit-faithful to the original hence failing OSNMA authentication.
