Ultra-Light Flexible Omni Antenna – Gooseneck Core for UAV
OVERVIEW
The Ultra-Light Flexible Omni Antenna is designed for UAVs, drones, and lightweight wireless communication systems where minimizing weight without compromising RF performance is essential.
Featuring a flexible gooseneck-style radiating element without the traditional metal outer housing, this antenna reduces structural weight while providing 360-degree omnidirectional coverage. Its flexible construction helps accommodate vibration and movement in airborne applications.
Two frequency options are available: 915 MHz (902–928 MHz) and 1.4 GHz (1420–1530 MHz). Select the appropriate frequency band for your communication or video transmission system.
KEY FEATURES
• Ultra-Lightweight Design: Reduces antenna mass for weight-sensitive airborne platforms.
• Flexible Gooseneck-Core Construction: Provides flexibility for demanding installation environments.
• 360° Omnidirectional Coverage: Supports communication in all horizontal directions.
• Low VSWR: VSWR of 1.5 or lower for effective RF system integration.
• Multiple Frequency Options: Choose between 915 MHz and 1.4 GHz versions.
• Flexible Connector Options: SMA, RP-SMA, or a customized connector, subject to configuration.
• Customization Available: Cable length and polarization options can be discussed for specific projects.

FAQ:
Q1: What is the difference between this antenna and a traditional gooseneck antenna?
A: This model removes the traditional metal outer gooseneck housing and uses a lightweight flexible radiating element to reduce weight and structural load.
Q2: Which frequency bands are available?
A: Two options are available: 902–928 MHz and 1420–1530 MHz. Select your required frequency version when ordering.
Q3: Is this antenna suitable for UAV applications?
A: Yes. Its lightweight, flexible construction and omnidirectional radiation pattern make it suitable for compatible UAV telemetry and communication systems.
Q4: Can the connector and cable length be customized?
A: SMA, RP-SMA, and customized connector options are available subject to confirmation. Cable length can also be discussed for your project.
Q5: Can the polarization be customized?
A: Linear polarization is standard. Circular polarization options, including RHCP or LHCP, may be available on request. Please confirm availability before ordering.
Q6: Can the antenna be made shorter or lighter?
A: Custom dimensions may be evaluated. However, reducing the radiating element length can affect antenna gain and communication performance.
Q7: Will this antenna work with any 915 MHz or 1.4 GHz radio?
A: Not necessarily. Frequency compatibility, connector type, polarization, impedance, and the radio's RF specifications should all be checked before purchase.
