Menace Stubby FPV Antenna RHCP SMA 5.8ghz Omni

Menace Stubby FPV Antenna RHCP SMA 5.8ghz Omni

Product description

The Menace Stubby 5.8 GHz RHCP FPV antenna features a compact design, high radiation efficiency, and uniform omnidirectional coverage. With its circular polarization and carefully tuned antenna design, it is suitable for both transmitting and receiving 5.8 GHz video signals.

The specialized PCB construction enables precise manufacturing with tight tolerances. The result is uniform, omnidirectional radiation with 360° coverage. With an antenna gain of 1.09 dB, the Menace Stubby achieves a radiation efficiency of 92%. According to the manufacturer, this allows it to deliver up to 20% more received signal than certain other omni-directional antenna designs with higher nominal gain.

Thanks to its low axial ratio of less than 1.3, the RHCP antenna offers good separation from oppositely polarized signals. Especially when combined with another RHCP antenna, this ensures coordinated signal transmission within the FPV system.

With a height of 62 mm and a weight of just 9.4 g, the Menace Stubby remains pleasantly compact. The reinforced coaxial cable and SMA connector allow for mounting on compatible FPV video transmitters and receivers. An interesting choice for FPV pilots looking for a lightweight 5.8 GHz antenna with good omnidirectional performance.
