Description

Engineered for reliable FPV video transmission, the RunCam 5.8 GHz Antenna features a Left-Hand Circular Polarization (LHCP) design that effectively reduces multi-path interference and signal nulls common in dynamic flight environments. Its optimized axial ratio ensures consistent polarization matching with corresponding LHCP receiver antennas, maximizing signal integrity.

The antenna’s robust construction utilizes quality materials to withstand vibration and minor impacts, making it suitable for both racing and freestyle drone applications. The MMCX-L connector provides a reliable, snap-lock interface that maintains a secure connection even during high-G maneuvers, while its low-profile form factor is ideal for tight builds where space is at a premium.

Key Features

  • LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarization) design minimizes signal reflection and interference.
  • Wideband 5.5-6.0 GHz coverage supports all standard 5.8GHz FPV channels.
  • Low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of <1.1 at 5.8GHz ensures efficient power transfer.
  • Compact and lightweight form factor (11x82mm, 3g) for minimal aerodynamic drag.
  • MMCX-L connector type for a secure, low-profile connection compatible with many micro VTXs and cameras.
  • Durable coaxial and radiating element construction built for the rigors of FPV flight.

Applications

  • Micro and nano FPV drone builds requiring a compact, lightweight 5.8GHz antenna.
  • FPV racing quads where a low-profile MMCX-L antenna minimizes snag risk.
  • Freestyle and cinematic drones utilizing LHCP systems for improved video link penetration.
  • DIY FPV ground station receivers needing a dedicated, high-gain LHCP antenna.
  • Upgrading the stock antenna on micro VTXs or RunCam Split-style camera/VTX combos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this RunCam antenna compatible with my 5.8GHz video transmitter?

Yes, this antenna is compatible with any 5.8GHz FPV video transmitter or camera with a matching MMCX-L connector. Its wide 5.5-6.0 GHz frequency range covers all standard 5.8GHz bands (e.g., Raceband, FatShark, ImmersionRC). Ensure your receiver antenna also uses LHCP polarization for optimal signal strength.

What is the advantage of LHCP polarization?

LHCP (Left-Hand Circular Polarization) offers significant resistance to multi-path interference, where signals bounce off surfaces like trees or buildings. This results in a cleaner, more stable video feed with fewer dropouts compared to linear antennas, especially in environments with obstacles. It must be paired with an LHCP receiver antenna.

How do I install and secure the MMCX-L connector?

Align the pin on the MMCX-L connector with the slot on your VTX or camera's MMCX port and push straight on until it clicks into place. Avoid bending the connection at sharp angles. For added strain relief in high-vibration builds, use a small zip-tie or adhesive mount to secure the antenna cable to the frame.
