The gain of a 58th wave over a 14 wl antenna at 2 degrees is now 2. This calculator can be used to design a quarter wave ground plane antenna, with radials. Its very hard to decide what the best antenna actually is. Everywhere we look, everything tells us the 58th wave has 3db gain.
We know that a 1\4 wave vertical has a hole in the reception directly above and below the antenna, so if we are trailing a antenna of circa 14wave horizontally along the length of the fuse, and the plane is flying directly away from or towards the tx, the same hole should exist in the reception and reception ought to be very poor. The 1 4 wave antenna depends on the ground plane being large enough to actually cause physical reflections of the 1 4 wave conductor. A well performing singlepcb antenna will have a voltage standing wave ratio vswr of well below 1. This calculator will help you to calculate the different wavelength of. A prototype of the antenna was fabricated on a double sided pcb substrate relative. We offer a wide range of the best fpv and rc antennas on the market with brands ranging from vas, truerc, circular wireless, strix and more. The 14 wave antenna depends on the ground plane being large enough to actually cause physical reflections of the 14 wave conductor. Scoutwave 1215 fpv extreme long range panel av antenna 50km 15dbi 1. On diversity setups, i recommend using both a patch and a cp antenna for must use cases.
We know that a 1 \ 4 wave vertical has a hole in the reception directly above and below the antenna, so if we are trailing a antenna of circa 1 4wave horizontally along the length of the fuse, and the plane is flying directly away from or towards the tx, the same hole should exist in the reception and reception ought to be very poor. Helipal is famous for their fast shipping, low price and good service. Considering replacement of stock omnidirectional antenna of the dji mavic pro, im puzzled about a 16dbi circular polarized antenna and what i think are patch antennas, the 4hawks raptorsr or the itelite dbs nano sync. Each radial is evenly spaced 90 degrees from each other around the vertical element. Extremely wide band, it will work from 980mhz up to 1280 mhz with swr being very low at 1080, 1120, 1160 and 1200.
