Switched diversity systems are those employing two (or sometimes more) antennas for the purpose of maintaining a communications
link should the signal from one of those antennas become blocked, or severely degraded. In satellite communications, a switched
diversity system is frequently employed in situations where:
The ground station is mobile (such as a ship) and direct line-of-sight is blocked by buildings, bridges, fjords, etc.
The ground station is fixed, but where there is frequent blockage of an antenna (such as an oil drilling platform, where helicopter
traffic interrupts the line-of-sight view to the satellite)
A system employing the CDS-100 is shown below:
