CRPA Antenna Price: What Actually Drives the Cost
CRPA antenna price is set by a handful of decisions: element count, bands and constellations, anti-spoofing, and quantity. Knowing which ones you need is the fastest way to an accurate quote.
Why CRPA antenna prices vary so much
A CRPA antenna is not one component. It is an antenna array, an RF front end for every element, an anti-jamming processor and often a GNSS receiver in one housing. Every extra element adds a channel to all of those. That is why the price of a CRPA antenna ranges widely, and why the cheapest correct answer comes from sizing the array to the threat, not from picking a model off a list. Background: controlled reception pattern antenna.
1. Number of elements
The biggest single driver. A 4-element CRPA antenna has four RF channels; a 16-element CRPA antenna has sixteen, plus a much larger aperture and more processing. In the infoX range that is the step from 130 g and ≤6 W to as much as 2600 g and ≤40 W.
Buy the element count your interference environment needs: N elements null N−1 jammers. Paying for sixteen when four will do is the most common overspend. See how many CRPA elements you need.
2. Bands and constellations
Single-band L1/B1/E1 terminals cost less than multi-band ones. Some infoX models add GLONASS G1, and one lets you choose a second band — BDS B3, GPS L2 or GPS L5 — at order. Each added band means more filtering and front-end hardware.
3. Anti-spoofing
Anti-spoofing models carry extra processing to suppress a counterfeit constellation, holding residual spoofing signal to ≤20 dB C/N₀. In our range that is TX2501-AJS-4CH-DPA (4 elements) and TX2512-AJS-16CH-DPA (16 elements). If your threat is jamming only, you do not need to pay for it.
4. Quantity, integration and compliance
Unit price falls with volume. Integration support, custom cables or mounting, and test on your own platform add cost but save far more in rework. CRPA antennas are export controlled and supplied subject to end-use review, so allow time for the paperwork in your schedule.
How to get an accurate CRPA antenna price
Send four things: the platform and its weight budget, the available power, the constellations and bands you need, and the interference you expect — number of jammers and whether spoofing is a concern. With that we can name one model and quote it, instead of a range.
