For the multianode-PMT-based quadrant tracking sensor, one of the tracking error sources is the crosstalk. The crosstalk can be reduced by de-crosstalk algorithm, so the tracking error of the de-crosstalk algorithm for the multianode-PMT-based quadrant tracking sensor are analyzed in theory and verified by experiments. Both the theoretical analysis and the experimental results showed that the spot displacement sensitivity could be improved by the de-crosstalk algorithm, but the spot centroid detecting error increased at the same time. So the de-crosstalk algorithm could not improve the tracking accuracy effectively.
