Drotek DA233 + DP0601 GNSS RTK (F9P) – High-Precision RTK Bundle for UAVs

Why DA233 + DP0601 GNSS RTK (F9P) from Drotek Are the Perfect Pair for High-Precision Navigation

In professional UAV projects, robotics, and precision positioning systems, performance does not depend on the GNSS receiver alone. Antenna quality plays an equally critical role. That is why many customers at atgroup.store consistently choose the Drotek DP0601 GNSS RTK (F9P) together with the DA233 active GNSS antenna. This is not accidental. These two components are designed to complement each other: one delivers centimeter-level positioning accuracy, the other ensures clean, stable satellite signal reception. Let’s look at why this combination works so well in real-world RTK deployments.

DA233: Active Multi-Band GNSS Antenna That Unlocks RTK Performance

The DA233 is a compact active helical GNSS antenna designed specifically for RTK systems.

Unlike passive antennas, DA233 includes an integrated low-noise amplifier, which dramatically improves signal quality, especially in challenging RF environments.

Key DA233 antenna specifications:

Supports all major GNSS bands:

GPS L1/L2

GLONASS G1/G2

BeiDou B1/B2/B3

Galileo E1/E2/E5/E6

LNA gain up to 39 dB

Minimum peak gain ≥ 2 dBi

Noise figure ≤ 1.5 dB

Power supply: 3.3 to 12 V (up to 50 mA)

360° horizontal coverage

SMA male connector

Operating temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C

Compact size: 27.5 × 60 mm

Robust, waterproof construction

These characteristics allow the antenna to maintain strong signal reception even in mobile or obstructed environments.

Technical details are confirmed in the official DA233 datasheet

Why DP0601 and DA233 Work Better Together

1. Maximum RTK Accuracy

The DP0601 can only achieve centimeter precision when RF input quality is high.
DA233 provides strong amplification and low noise, enabling faster and more stable RTK FIX.

2. Faster RTK Lock

Thanks to its 39 dB LNA gain, DA233 significantly reduces convergence time, especially in field conditions where satellite signals are weaker.

3. Full Frequency Compatibility

Both products support the same GNSS constellations and frequency bands, ensuring optimal matching with no performance loss.

4. Proven Engineering Combination

This exact antenna-receiver pairing is used in Drotek’s own Base/Rover and Moving Base reference setups, which confirms real-world validation.

5. Simple Integration

Direct SMA connection, antenna powered from the receiver, no adapters required. This saves installation time and reduces failure points.
