HELIX Lite 5.8/15 by BlueBird is an ultralight, high-precision helical antenna designed for applications where mass is critical and maximum radio channel stability is required. The device operates in a wide frequency band of 4.9 - 6.1 GHz (nominal range 5800 MHz) and receives/transmits signals with right-hand circular polarization (RHCP), ensuring reliable operation in multipath environments and during dynamic platform maneuvers.
Technical Configuration and Advantages
- 1. High-Efficiency Radiator (15 turns): The design is based on 15 precisely calculated helical turns, providing a gain of up to 15 dBi and forming a single-lobe, narrow-beam radiation pattern along the antenna axis.
- 2. Lightweight and Mobile (Lite Concept): The weight is reduced to 53 g, making HELIX Lite an ideal choice for UAVs, relay drones, and other mobile platforms where every gram matters.
- 3. Stable Circular Polarization: A high-quality Axial Ratio < 1.5 ensures stable reception and transmission even when the antenna rotates or during movement.
- 4. Versatile Mounting: Compact dimensions (width 55 mm, height 201 mm) and a well-thought-out design allow for quick integration of the antenna into airborne systems, as well as on stationary masts and towers.
HELIX Lite 5.8/15 combines engineering precision with minimal load on the carrier, making it an optimal solution for professional long-range systems, tactical radio complexes, ground relays, and drones. The design provides isolation from background interference outside the main beam, which increases communication reliability over long distances.
