Characterising CRPAs and other adaptive antennas
How to test CRPAs and other advanced GNSS antenna designs
Properly integrated, controlled reception pattern antennas (CRPAs) and other adaptive antenna systems provide increased precision and robustness to positioning systems, protecting against jamming and spoofing attacks. As continuous, high-accuracy positioning is demanded by more and more industries, CRPAs are becoming more widely used.
In this paper, Spirent considers:
How adaptive antennas work
What you need to know about integrating CRPAs and other adaptive antenna systems
What equipment is required for testing and characterising a CRPA system – including GNSS simulation capabilities
Viable methodologies for CRPA testing
Spirent CRPA testing solutions for high-performance CRPA systems
