What antenna is good for a traversing machine? Analysis of hot topics and hot content across the entire network
With the popularity of flying vehicles (FPV drones), how to choose a suitable antenna has become the focus of pilots. This article will combine the hot discussions and actual measurement data on the entire network in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the performance differences and applicable scenarios of different antennas.
1. Comparison of antenna types of traversing machines
| Antenna type | frequency range | Gain(dBi) | Applicable scenarios | Popular brands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mushroom antenna | 5.8GHz | 3-5 | Short to medium distance flights | Lumenier, TBS |
| rod antenna | 5.8GHz | 8-12 | long distance flight | Foxeer, ImmersionRC |
| flat panel antenna | 5.8GHz | 14-16 | Racing/Directed Transfer | VAS, TrueRC |
| omnidirectional antenna | 5.8GHz | 2-4 | multi-directional flight | Eachine, Rush |
2. Recent hot topics of discussion
1.Antenna polarization method selection: Forum data in the past 10 days shows that the number of discussions on right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) antennas has increased by 35% because its anti-interference ability is better than linearly polarized antennas.
2.Lightweight trend: Reddit community voting shows that 68% of users prefer antennas weighing less than 15g, and carbon fiber materials have become the new favorite.
3.Band compatibility: With the popularity of the DJI O3 system, searches for antennas that support the full frequency band of 5.1-5.9GHz increased by 42% week-on-week.
3. Comparison of measured performance data
| test items | mushroom antenna | rod antenna | flat panel antenna |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 meters penetration | -72dBm | -65dBm | -58dBm |
| multipath suppression | ★★★ | ★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Weight(g) | 12 | 18 | 25 |
| Price range (yuan) | 80-150 | 120-200 | 200-350 |
4. Suggestions on purchasing
1.racing player: It is recommended to use a combination of flat-panel antenna (image transmission end) + mushroom antenna (glasses end) to take into account signal strength and multi-angle reception.
2.voyage player: The high-frequency gain rod antenna combined with the clover antenna can increase the transmission distance by 1.5 times according to actual measurements.
3.Getting Started: Choose the RHCP omnidirectional antenna set, which is cost-effective and easy to install.
5. Maintenance tips
• Regularly check the tightness of the antenna connector (SMA/UFL), looseness will cause 3-5dB signal attenuation
• Clean the surface of the antenna promptly after flying, as oil will reduce signal efficiency by 10-15%
• Avoid direct contact between the antenna and carbon fiber parts, and maintain a distance of at least 2cm
Conclusion:According to the latest research from the FPVLab community, a reasonable combination of antenna systems can improve the flight experience by more than 30%. It is recommended that pilots choose the antenna combination that best suits them based on actual flight scenarios and budget.
