Antenna Experts offer a complete products portfolio of military grade circular polarized horizontal omni quadrifilar helix antenna. Quadrifilar Helix Antennas are broadband omni-directional RHCP or LHCP quadrifilar helix antennas, rugged all weather model, enclosed in a ABS radome, uses high class copper alloy and does not require any field tuning or adjustments. The compact size of quadrifilar helix antennas RHCP omni or quadrifilar helix antennas LHCP omni-directional antenna allows easy handling, shipping and highly suitable for receiving, transmitting, scanning, monitoring, surveillance and jamming applications.
The quadifilar helix antenna are circular polarized omni antenna comprises two bifilar helical loops oriented in mutual orthogonal relationship on a common axis. The quadrifilar helix antennas terminals of each loop are fed in anti-phase and the currents in the two loops are in phase quadrature of these quadrifilar helix antenna. Quadrifilar helix antennas are high suitable as base station antenna for Ground To Air communication application without having the requirement of multiple antennas.
Quadrifilar Helix Architecture and Circular Polarization
The QHA series represents a sophisticated leap in military-grade antenna design, utilizing a quadrifilar helix (QHA) architecture. This design comprises two bifilar helical loops oriented in a mutually orthogonal relationship on a common axis. By feeding the terminals of each loop in anti-phase and maintaining currents in phase quadrature, the antenna achieves a true circular polarized omni-directional pattern. This technology, available in both Right Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) and Left Hand Circular Polarized (LHCP) senses, delivers superior penetration through atmospheric obstructions and significantly reduces signal degradation caused by multipath interference.
Versatile Frequency Coverage for Global Navigation QHA
Antenna Experts manufactures an extensive range of QHAs designed to support the entire spectrum of global navigation and satellite communication. This includes dedicated models for all GPS bands (L1 through L6), as well as the GLONASS, IRIDIUM, and INMARSAT constellations. By providing a single, broadband omni-directional solution that covers these critical bands, the QHA eliminates the need for complex, multiple-antenna arrays on a single platform. This makes it an indispensable tool for Earth Observation Missions, Space Science Missions, and high-precision telemetry applications.
Ground-to-Air Communication and Tactical Jamming
The unique radiation characteristics of the quadrifilar helix antenna, featuring a wide elevation beam-width combined with 360-degree horizontal coverage, make it highly suitable for Ground-to-Air communication. These same properties allow the antenna to excel in tactical electronic warfare, specifically for scanning, monitoring, surveillance, and drone jamming. Because the QHA provides hemispherical-omni coverage, it can effectively engage aerial targets or maintain satellite links even when the orientation between the transmitter and receiver is dynamic or unpredictable.
"Teflon Dielectric" High-Power Transmission of QHA
To handle the intense thermal and electrical demands of high-power military applications, the QHA series incorporates a specialized "Teflon Dielectric Transmission Line" technique. This advanced internal matching system ensures a smooth Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and maintains constant gain over the specified bandwidth. This allows the antenna to handle significant power input without sacrificing efficiency, making it a reliable choice for high-wattage jamming systems and robust base station transmitters that require "set-and-forget" reliability without field tuning.
QHA Ruggedized Construction and Environmental Defense
Designed to survive the most extreme weather conditions, the QHA series features radiating elements made from high-class copper alloy, hermetically sealed within a UV-resistant ABS radome. This radome is not only transparent to RF signals but also possesses the structural integrity to withstand high wind loads and mechanical impact. The cylindrical geometry of the shell is engineered for low wind resistance and to mitigate the effects of ice formation. Furthermore, the use of stainless steel mounting hardware ensures that the system remains free from corrosion in saline coastal or humid tropical environments.
QHA-1117: Multiband Navigation and GPS Satellite Link 1100-1700MHz
The QHA-1117 is a specialized broadband hemi-omni-directional antenna designed to cover the critical 1100–1700 MHz range. This single-unit solution is optimized for multi-constellation support, providing seamless performance for GPS L1/L2/L5, Iridium, and GLONASS without requiring field adjustments. Its compact profile and rugged all-weather build make it a primary choice for weather station satellite reception and military-grade navigation. For absolute weather protection, the antenna termination is fitted directly below the mounting flange, shielding the connection point from the elements.
