Maple Wireless 4.85-6.3G 2dBi LHCP SMA-Male Omnidirectional FPV Goggle Antenna

Introduction

The Maple Wireless 4.85-6.3G 2dBi omnidirectional antenna is a high-performance component specifically engineered for the demanding FPV (First Person View) drone market. It is designed to provide a stable and clear video and telemetry signal in the crucial 5 GHz frequency band. This antenna is an excellent choice for pilots who require consistent signal integrity, reducing the frustration of video glitches and signal loss during critical flight maneuvers.

Key Advantages

• Wide Frequency Band: Operates across the entire 5 GHz FPV spectrum (4.85 - 6.3 GHz) for maximum compatibility.
• LHCP Polarization: Circular Left-Hand Polarization effectively combats multipath interference and signal fading, ensuring a cleaner video feed.
• Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern: Provides a consistent 360° signal coverage in the horizontal plane, ensuring reliable reception regardless of drone orientation.
• Low VSWR: An impedance match with a VSWR of less than 1.7 ensures efficient power transfer and minimal signal loss.
• Lightweight & Compact: Weighing only around 13g with a Ø33x147 mm size, it's ideal for small to medium FPV drones without adding significant bulk.
• Standard SMA-Male Connector: Ensures easy installation and broad compatibility with most FPV VTX units and receivers.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of FPV use, suitable for high-power systems.
• Extended Temperature Range: Operates reliably in conditions from -40°C to +60°C.
