Lightweight amateur radio antennas.

A new site is on the way for multiband antenna products, technical notes, measured reports, and enquiry tools. For now, AirFrame Antennas Ltd is focused on honest, practical antenna engineering with modern materials and published real-world data.

What We Build

AirFrame Antennas Ltd is developing lightweight amateur radio antennas using fibreglass supports, quality wire elements, monofilament and aramid restraint systems, and practical low-wind-load structures.

  • HF fan verticals and multiband vertical systems
  • Lightweight multiband Yagi-style designs with alternative geometries
  • Portable and fixed-station antennas built around modern materials rather than heavy hardware

Engineering Approach

Designs are computer-modelled and refined using professional engineering tools including NEC4-based workflows, antenna packages such as MMANA-GAL Pro, and SPICE-based electrical modelling where appropriate. Proprietary modelling and optimisation methods are used alongside those tools to make the analysis as robust as possible before hardware is built. Modelling is then verified in the field rather than treated as proof on its own.

  • NEC4-based modelling and analysis workflows
  • Professional antenna design packages including MMANA-GAL Pro
  • SPICE-based electrical modelling and related professional simulation tools
  • Proprietary modelling and optimisation methods
  • Field verification using proprietary RF field measurement methods, including drone-assisted work

What You Can Expect

The aim is straightforward: no inflated performance claims, no vague marketing numbers, and no dependence on modelling screenshots alone.

  • Published SWR, impedance, and pattern data where available
  • Transparent reporting of measured results and practical trade-offs
  • Quality parts, small-batch attention, and engineering-led decisions

Coming Soon

The full site will expand into product listings, technical data sheets, design notes, measured test results, and enquiry questionnaires to help guide the right antenna choice.
