Description

This long-stem lollipop antenna is engineered for the 5.8GHz FPV band, utilizing a Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) design to mitigate multipath interference and signal nulls common in dynamic flight environments. Its omnidirectional pattern ensures reliable video link reception regardless of the drone’s orientation relative to the receiver.

Constructed with a focus on a smooth radiation pattern and a favorable axial ratio, the antenna delivers a stable and clear video feed. The integrated 12.5cm cable with an SMA male connector allows for straightforward installation on compatible video transmitters and ground station receivers.

Key Features

  • RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) design reduces signal fade in cluttered RF environments.
  • Optimized omnidirectional radiation pattern provides uniform coverage in all horizontal directions.
  • Compact and lightweight lollipop form factor minimizes drag and weight on micro and mini quadcopters.
  • 50Ω impedance ensures minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer from the VTX.
  • Durable construction rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Applications

  • FPV racing and freestyle drones requiring a lightweight, omnidirectional VTX antenna.
  • Micro and mini quadcopter builds where a low-profile antenna is necessary to avoid prop strikes.
  • Ground station receiver setups to improve signal diversity and reception.
  • Replacement antenna for stock linear polarized antennas to upgrade video link reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of using an RHCP antenna over a linear polarized one for FPV?

RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) antennas are significantly more resistant to signal degradation caused by multipath reflection and polarization mismatch during aggressive drone maneuvers. This results in a more stable and consistent video feed with fewer dropouts compared to linear polarized antennas, especially in environments with obstacles like trees and buildings.

Is this antenna compatible with my 5.8GHz video transmitter or goggles?

Yes, this antenna is designed for the 5.8GHz ISM band used by most analog FPV systems. It features a standard SMA male connector, making it directly compatible with VTXs and goggles that have a female SMA port. Always ensure your equipment uses the same connector type (SMA vs. RP-SMA) to avoid damage.

What does the 2.8dBi gain rating mean for this omnidirectional antenna?

A gain of 2.8 dBi indicates a slight increase in effective radiated power compared to an isotropic radiator (0 dBi). For an omnidirectional antenna like this, the gain is achieved by shaping the radiation pattern, potentially offering slightly better range or signal strength in the horizontal plane without creating significant nulls or a directional beam.
