Why are Harxon precision GNSS antennas so good for drone applications?

3rd August 2025

Harxon precision GNSS antennas are ideal for drone applications due to their compact helix design. They are very lightweight, a critical factor for UAV installations, and offer high accuracy positioning. Critical for drones to maximise flight time and range as well as handling, the small helix antennas can either be built into a done design or used as a after-market standalone antenna attached to the drone by a connector.

Precision helix antennas are able to receive signals from multiple satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, etc.) facilitating robust and consistent positioning even in locations with more limited satellite visibility.

Enhanced features of lightweight GNSS helix antennas including strong anti-interference, filtering and out-of-band rejection capabilities help to ensure a solid and reliable GNSS signal.

For example, the HX-CH7609A weighs only 30.5g with compact dimensions of 43.6×40.8mm (dxh) offering a high gain and high accuracy solution and to integrate into many precision positioning products.

We have a full range of GNSS antennas for drone, autonomous vehicle, surveying, precision agriculture, anti-jamming, and marine applications. Please contact us for more information.
