Multi-band antenna for satellite positioning system

A stacked multi-band antenna for a satellite positioning system comprising:

• a stack of conductive patches, each respective conductive patch being dimensioned so as to be operative in a dedicated frequency band;
• an excitation line section arranged underneath said stack of conductive patches, said excitation line section comprising pairs of conductive strips, each pair of conductive strips for radiatively coupling to an associate conductive patch of said stack of conductive patches;
• characterised in that said antenna comprises at least one electric circuit for operatively connecting said pairs of conductive strips to a satellite positioning receiver, said at least one electric circuit being arranged in a triplate section arranged underneath said excitation line section, said at least one electric circuit including filters and amplifiers for respectively filtering and amplifying signals from said pairs of conductive strips.
