HELIX500 + GNSS Helix Antenna

The HN-HELIX500 is a compact, ultra-low-profile active helix antenna supporting full-band GNSS, SBAS, and L-Band correction services. Designed for high-precision positioning on UAVs, surveying and monitoring equipment, and other space-constrained platforms, it combines reliable RF performance with a lightweight, easy-to-integrate design.

H2042R GNSS Helix Antenna

Ultra-Low-Profile Full-Band Helix GNSS Antenna

The HN-HELIX500 is a high-performance active GNSS helix antenna supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC/IRNSS, SBAS, and L-Band correction services. Its multi-point-fed design provides stable phase-center performance, reliable RHCP satellite reception, and effective multipath mitigation. A pre-filtered LNA improves out-of-band interference rejection and supports reliable GNSS signal tracking in complex RF environments. With an ultra-low-profile, lightweight housing, the HN-HELIX500 is well suited for UAVs, surveying and mapping equipment, monitoring devices, and other ground-based or airborne precision-positioning systems.

Engineered for precise, resilient GNSS reception

Full-Band GNSS

Tracks GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC, SBAS, and L-Band correction services.

Stable Phase Center

Centimeter phase-center repeatability supports precision positioning and heading stability.

Multipath Rejection

Improved filtering suppresses reflected signals and helps preserve clean GNSS measurements.

Low-Elevation Gain

Strong RHCP reception maintains signal quality when satellites are closer to the horizon.

Rugged IP67 Design

Sealed construction, wide operating temperature range, and 1.5m drop resistance suit field use.

Low-SWaP Integration

Compact size, low weight, and 25mA typical current minimize platform integration impact.
