Dear i am using vertically polarized monopole antenna on UAV of 900 MHz (.33 wavelength). but now i have replaced it with helical antenna of 5 turns at 900 MHz that of circular polarization, and at the ground station i am using helical antenna gain…

I notice that you really like to remain vague, and not give any information which would "lock down" your answers (and thus subject them to public scrutiny). This will be the last post I'm making in this thread, for obvious reasons.…

Fahad, can you pls post the link to your antenna and tx module? I am curious about "antenna is 17 dB" as to how/where you got that number. Thanks

I guess it is 400 mhz UHF <10mW module if my memory serves right( unless he has moved from it to better module since then)

What frequency does it work on?

there are losses but the cost for antenna is very less, efficient results , so there is a trade off between losses and cost.

One note of curiosity... since you're using a helical antenna at the ground station end, and since helical antennas come in either LHCP (left-hand circular polarization) or RHCP (right-hand circular polarization) depending on which direction…

Helical antennas were invented in the 1940's by John Kraus (W8JK). Is there anything substantially different in your design that makes it stand out when compared to the standard helical antennas that have been developed over the years (see this…

yes i have diagrams for major and minor lobes. Yes size is also larger but it is for ground station will work as a reciever.

UAV wireless links can take place on several different bands; which band are you referring to, in particular? Also, as you already know, the UAV as well as the ground station requires an antenna; which are you referring to, in particular? To obtain…

Are you talking about an antenna for the xbee communication modules?

UAV link range extension

Dear All, I have designed a helical antenna to extend the range of UAV wireless link, now i am thinking to write a research paper on it, which i have achieved. The gain of that antenna is 17 dB, please all of u tell me that should i proceed with this idea or not? is it good or bad?  Regards  See More

I am assuming you have the Xbee PRO 900 50 mW. It should easily go min 1 mile LOS on the ground with standard antennas. Something is wrong here? With a well aimed yagi you should go for many miles.

25 m sounds really bad, even a 1mW transmitter should give you hundreds of meters range with just monopoles. You could have a problem somewhere in your setup. A helical antenna is more directional, so yes, it will improve your range.

I am using 900MHz monopole antenna,and the range was 25 meters, that transmitter was at a distance of 25 meter from receiver, and now i have designed helical antenna. is it good to improve the link range?
