Maple Wireless 17dB Directional FPV Goggle Antenna (RP-AAT)

Introduction

The Maple Wireless 5.8G-17dB is a high-gain directional antenna engineered for FPV and UAV applications where long-range signal integrity is paramount. It operates with vertical polarization when aligned parallel to the ground, requiring a corresponding vertical transmission antenna. This antenna is specifically designed to overcome the limitations of standard omnidirectional antennas, providing a focused signal for demanding flight scenarios.

Key advantages

• High Gain: Achieve superior signal strength with 17dBi gain.
• Directional Beam: Focused 16° azimuth angle is ideal for long-distance flights and stable AAT.
• 5.8GHz Operation: Optimized for the popular 5.8GHz FPV frequency band.
• Vertical Polarization: Ensures compatibility with vertically polarized transmission antennas.
• Enhanced Range: Significantly extends the operational range of your FPV system.
• Reliable Signal: Reduces interference and signal degradation over distance.
• Compact Design: Measuring 136*68*10mm for easy integration.
• Ideal for AAT: Perfectly suited for closed-loop Advanced Antenna Tracking systems.

Technical specifications

• Frequency: 5.8G
• Gain: 17dBi
• Bandwidth: 5180-5950MHz
• Size: 136*68*10mm
• Polarization: Vertical (when used parallel to ground)
• Azimuth Angle: Approximately 16°

Applications

This directional antenna is best suited for long-distance FPV flights, drone racing with stable video links, and automated antenna tracking (AAT) systems that require a consistent, high-quality video signal. It is also beneficial for UAV operations where maintaining a strong connection to a distant aircraft is critical.

Compatibility

The antenna is designed for 5.8GHz systems. Ensure your transmitter and receiver, or the ground station antenna, are compatible with 5.8GHz signals and vertical polarization for optimal performance. The narrow beamwidth necessitates careful aiming towards the FPV drone or ground station.

FAQ

What is the Maple Wireless 17dB Directional Antenna (RP-AAT) used for?

The Maple Wireless 17dB Directional Antenna is designed for FPV and UAV applications, offering high gain (17dBi) and a focused beamwidth for extended range flights or stable Advanced Antenna Tracking (AAT) systems. It excels in scenarios requiring a strong, reliable signal over long distances.

What is the beamwidth of the Maple Wireless 17dB antenna?
