hmm...

I'm just speculating here, but looking at the patches themselves, and the way they're rotated 45 degrees, it almost looks like they're designed for linear polarization and rotating them 45 degrees so that they're a compromise halfway between vertical and horizontally polarized sources.



I believe the Multanovas are vertically polarized so it looks like they're simply rotating it another 45 degrees to help with detecting it, at the cost of diminished horizontal polarization performance.

Just a guess.
