3D printers are very useful tool for the tinkering hobbyist and professional engineer alike. Perfect for creating your own parts to customize and adapt to your needs or fantasy. As many hobbyists built aircraft using our antennas, lot of solutions for mounting them or protecting them were created and shared. We gathered a collection of […]
The pagoda antenna was developed by Maarten Baert as a free to use design. It quickly became a popular antenna, with multiple brands selling them as is or with various attempts to encase or otherwise protect it. In this post we will study the inner functioning of the pagoda and what are the effects of […]
The SMA (Sub miniature type A) connector as we know it was designed in the 60s. So, for many of us, they always been part of the landscape. Its 8mm hexagonal shape, meant to be tightened with a tool, doesn’t offer much grip to fingers. Peoples been cutting/printing contraption that fit over the SMA and […]
The chart above represent a view from the top of the coverage and range of different antennas. The range estimates are based on the used of a 200mW Vtx. Numbers are a bit on the conservative sides too. As I said in previous articles, if you switch to a 800mW Vtx, you can double all […]
The whoop size Beta 85X quadcopter comes with everything, 4S power, HD recording, 200mW Vtx and the new Lumenier micro AXII. Available at most reputable FPV dealers and betafpv.com.
We designed the new micro AXII for lumenier. A move forward from the current AXII in term of miniaturization at less than half the volume of the original. By far, the smallest 5.8GHz CP antenna available right now. In order to bring the micro AXII, innovations going beyond RF engineering had to be made, such […]
Mishaps. They always happen, no one escape. When your singularity antenna is smashed by an unfortunate event, not all hope is lost! With a 3D printer and basic soldering skills you can salvage your dead antenna and turn it into a “polarizer”. First, tear away the ends caps, then un-solder the network. The elements […]
Above is a radiation pattern from an omni directional antenna (AXII) typically found on aircraft transmitter. The usual dBi unit been replaced by ratio of maximum range. You may ask why we didn’t simply marked in meters or kilometers? Because the ultimate range depends on a lots of others factors than one antenna. However, keeping […]
