Antenna or Chimera?
Every now and then, someone asks why not connect two antennas together using a Tee adapter. The answer involves constructive and destructive interference, and this article explains the physics [...]
RHCP or LHCP?
RHCP and LHCP stand for Right-Hand and Left-Hand Circular Polarization. This guide explains what circular polarization means for FPV, why matching your antennas matters, and which polarization [...]
The myth of specific channel "tuned" antennas
A common question is which channel an antenna is tuned to. The truth is that properly designed FPV antennas have bandwidth far too wide for individual channel tuning to matter. Here is why SWR [...]
DJI FPV antennas selection help from QSL.
Our friend Troy at Quad Standard Labs made a helpful video explaining the different TrueRC antenna options for DJI FPV systems, helping you choose the right setup for your goggles and flying style.
The people that make a difference
FPV is a passion for many, and the dedication put into designing, building, and flying remotely operated aircraft is an endless source of inspiration. From thousands of creators, some have stood [...]
FPV twinstar with headlight
A detailed build log of an FPV Twinstar plane equipped with an epic custom headlight. This project features 24 CREE XM-L LEDs soldered directly to liquid-cooled copper tubes with a parabolic [...]
OCP vs SINGULARITY
A detailed comparison of the OCP and Singularity antennas covering dimensions, weight, pattern fidelity, gain, and cost to help you choose the right CP omni antenna for your FPV setup.
Omni vs. MX-air
The MX-air sits on the line between directional and omni-directional antennas. When aimed vertically, it provides all-around coverage like an omni but eliminates the null zone on top, making it [...]
The Pagoda
The Pagoda antenna by Maarten Baert became a popular open-source FPV antenna. In this post, we study its inner workings through 3D EM simulation and analyze how different protection methods like [...]
The new True-SMA
The SMA connector, designed in the 1960s, was never meant for field use. TrueRC Canada created the True-SMA with a knurled cylindrical grip for finger tightening and precision 50-ohm impedance [...]
Antenna comparison chart.
This comparison chart shows a top-down view of the coverage and estimated range for different TrueRC antennas at 200mW transmitter power, including range figures at 90 degrees off beam for [...]
