The fast development of drone and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology has opened up new prospects in a variety of industries, including surveillance and delivery, agriculture, defense, and photography. However, none of these applications could be realized without one crucial component: an RF antenna. Eteily Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. develops high-performance antennas for secure, long-range, real-time communication between drones and their operators or networks.
Why are antennas crucial for drones and unmanned aerial vehicles?
Drones use RF communication for:
- Flight Control Signals
- GPS tracking
- Telemetry data transfer
- Video streaming (FPV).
- Autonomous navigation
Each of them need a powerful antenna system capable of sending and receiving signals over a wide range of frequencies and distances, often in harsh weather circumstances.
Different types of Antennas for Drone communication:
1. Omnidirectional Antennas
Used in short- or medium-range drones to provide a steady signal in all directions.

2. Directional Antennas (Patch, Yagi)
Used in long-range FPV or BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) applications to guide the signal.
3. GPS/GNSS Patch Antennas
These give precise positioning data for autonomous flying and return-to-home capabilities.
4. Flexible and Embedded Antennas
For tiny and micro drones with limited space, we provide compact and embedded solutions.
Challenges of UAV Antenna Design
- Size and Weight Restrictions: To fly properly, antennas must be lightweight and compact.
- Vibration and Movement: Because motion affects signal stability, antennas must operate consistently in dynamic settings.
- Drones operate in a variety of frequency bands (e.g., 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, GPS L1/L2/L5), necessitating multi-band or dual-band antenna designs.
- Environmental Resistance: Antennas must withstand high temperatures, strong winds, and electromagnetic interference.
Eteily's drone communication antennas
- We design antennas that can handle 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz control signals.
- GPS L1/L2 Navigation, Telemetry and Data Streaming
- Custom SMA connector configurations
- Low-loss cable assemblies (RG174, RG316, LMR100)
Each product has undergone rigorous testing for high-frequency performance, weather resilience, and minimal signal loss, making it perfect for drone OEMs, kit manufacturers, and integrators.
