In low-cost RF applications a whip antenna generally provides the best overall performance. In many cases, however, the use of a whip is not practical for cost or cosmetic reasons. In instances where a designer is looking for a blend of easy concealment, low cost and good performance, a helical antenna is usually the optimum choice. The HE series from Linx delivers exceptional performance and ease of use, while maintaining a cost factor appropriate for high-volume applications. Linx helical antennas are precisely wound and matched to provide the lowest possible SWR at the operational frequency. In addition, the antenna diameter and inter-coil spacing are optimized to provide a wider than typical bandwidth.
