RF Blade Antennas
RF Blade Antennas for UAV & UAS Platforms
Compact, lightweight blade antennas for commercial and defense UAV/UAS manufacturers. Compare L-band, S-band and dual S/C-band models for telemetry, command-and-control and compatible RF communication links.
Final antenna selection should consider frequency, ground plane, mounting, installed radiation pattern, environmental requirements and aircraft configuration.
Focused on UAV and UAS manufacturers.
The market includes specialized unmanned-aircraft manufacturers developing platforms for commercial missions and defense applications—not only traditional large aerospace and defense primes.
Commercial UAV/UAS manufacturers
Platforms for inspection, mapping, public safety, logistics, agriculture, research and other commercial missions requiring compatible RF links.
Defense UAV/UAS manufacturers
Unmanned-aircraft platforms for ISR, tactical operations and other defense missions. Program-specific environmental and qualification requirements must be confirmed.
Put RF performance into a low-SWaP package.
Blade antennas provide a streamlined external antenna option where mass, drag, mounting area and dependable coverage matter to the aircraft-level design.
Limit payload and drag impact
Published model weights range from 0.43 to 1.25 ounces, with compact two-hole and four-hole mounting configurations.
Support aircraft RF links
Published omnidirectional azimuth patterns support telemetry and compatible communications, subject to the installed ground plane and airframe.
Select around the platform
SMA female interfaces, multiple frequency ranges and mounting choices give UAV designers practical starting points for installation review.
One antenna family. Multiple unmanned-aircraft roles.
Suitability depends on the radio, link budget and installed configuration. These are application areas for engineering evaluation—not statements of platform approval.
Telemetry & command links
Evaluate L-band, S-band or dual-band models for compatible command, control and vehicle-data links.
ISR payload connectivity
Support compatible RF links used to move sensor or mission data between the aircraft and ground system.
BVLOS & long-endurance platforms
Review antenna placement, ground plane, airframe shadowing and installed pattern when link continuity is critical.
VTOL & SWaP-sensitive UAS
Compare low-mass blade configurations where payload, mounting space and aerodynamic profile are tightly constrained.
