Description

This Circular Wireless Helical Axial Mode 5.8 GHz HELIAXIAL is a high gain, right hand circular polarized (RHCP) directional antenna, ideal for use with an FPV video receiver for achieving long ranges. With a minimum of 12dB of gain, this antenna combined with a Skew Planar Wheel Antenna in the video transmitter offers over 6 km of FPV range. Supplied with an SMA female connector, three different adapters are also included to allow different ways of connecting the antenna to the receiver at different angles. The reflector is 3mm aluminum, and antenna support structure is made of Plexiglas. The helix is made of enameled copper. The start of the helix runs parallel to the reflector: This is the impedance matching, and it has been adjusted manually for each individual antenna. This antenna features a huge bandwidth (as expected of a Helical; see reflection parameter chart). A Return Loss of less than 13dB is warranted across this frequency range, which means that >95% of the power is coupled to the antenna. Directivity: gain of 12.33dB, with a beamwidth of about 60 degrees (see directivity chart). Opposite polarization rejection (see copolar vs. crosspolar chart): This is especially important in circular polarization. Put simply: the difference between the copolar component (right hand circular in this case) and crosspolar component (left hand circular) is the attenuation of the captured reflected signal that we want to avoid to reduce multipath. In these antennas cross polar attenuation is greater than 10dB in all cases, which means that the reflected signal will reach the emitter attenuated at least 10dB with respect to the desired signal, which is great to prevent reflected signals from interfering with the direct signal during FPV.

Product review & video

g'day and welcome back to RC model reviews that is DIY time yes we're gonna build helical antenna in fact it can be any kind of helical antenna you want where it can be left hand it can be right hand it can be three five seven or even eight Tunes if you want to be just depending on what you're looking for now a lot of people just simply use the standard skew planer or cloverleaf antennas that come with a lot of stuff some people even used the rubber duckie antennas that I compared last time or in an earlier review but to be honest you know something with a bit of gain gives you more range and if you've got goggles with diversity at least one of you well one of your antennas should be a gain antenna so that you can point your head in the direction of the model and get a better picture so we're going to build a helical because it's one of the easiest types of antennas to build another fai
