High-Performance, Rugged GPS & GNSS Antenna Solutions for Drones & Autonomous Vehicles

Maxtena stands at the forefront of innovation in wireless interaction and RF technologies for both terrestrial and satellite networks. Our cutting-edge proprietary solutions drive high-performance GNSS, SATCOM, LTE, and Wi-Fi antennas tailored for unmanned systems across land, air, and maritime environments, including UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles), and USVs (uncrewed surface vessels).

Helicore – innovative GNSS Helix Antenna Technology

our patented Helicore technology offers a flexible and cost-effective platform for rugged GNSS antenna solutions, enhancing essential design parameters such as pattern, polarization purity, efficiency, and compactness. Utilizing air as the dielectric core, Helicore minimizes the typical losses associated with ceramic materials, ensuring a stable and efficient manufacturing process.

Helicore designs incorporate active circuitry and filtering directly into the antenna, pushing the boundaries of axial ratio, bandwidth, and pattern stability. Key advantages of Helicore technology include:

• Compact and lightweight compared to traditional ceramic options
• Designs that are independent of ground plane
• Outstanding axial ratio at lower elevation angles,significantly reducing multipath interference
• Meets stringent susceptibility requirements of 200 V/m and 50 V/m

Conformal Wave Antenna Technology

By integrating advanced materials with a unique dual-feed configuration, we have developed conformal wave antenna solutions that surpass traditional ceramic single- and dual-feed technologies.

The innovative materials used provide optimal dielectric properties,achieving maximum bandwidth and efficiency while minimizing size and weight. These materials also exhibit plastic-like behavior, enhancing versatility during manufacturing and making them ideal for complex embedded GNSS applications requiring full coverage.

Our conformal wave solutions offer numerous benefits for GNSS applications:

• Exceptional axial ratio for thorough upper hemisphere coverage across all frequencies
• Consistent phase center variations across all frequencies
• Superior rejection of cross-polarized signals and multipath components at low elevation angles
• Outstanding performance in L-band corrections
