FPV Lollipop antenna - 5.8 GHz, 2.3 dBi, RHCP, RP-SMA

Product overview

• Antenna for 5.8 GHz FPV transmission in lollipop design
• Circularly polarized radiation (RHCP)
• Gain: 2.3 dBi
• SMA connector with reverse-polarity thread (RP-SMA)
• Operating voltage: 3 V

Product description

This 5.8 GHz antenna with RHCP polarization is designed for stable wireless transmission in FPV drones and racing drone systems. The circularly polarized radiation enables reception even when the receiver is tilted or rotated, which is crucial during flight.

The 2.3 dBi gain optimizes the range for medium flight distances. The lollipop design with a flexible radiator provides resistance to damage and prevents breakage better than rigid rods. The RP-SMA connection is standard for drone accessories and enables easy replacement.

The antenna works with all 5.8 GHz FPV components that use the same connector type, typically TX and RX modules as well as VTX systems in racing drones. For experimental flight-range tests or exploring larger areas, it offers solid value for money without being specialized for long-range use.

The module requires a 3 V power supply and connects to compatible receivers or transmitters via the RP-SMA connector. An antenna case for storing spare antennas is recommended, as the flexible elements are subject to wear during storage.

Safety information

This antenna is intended exclusively for use with model aircraft and FPV systems in hobby and experimental applications. All local radio regulations and frequency authorizations must be checked before operation, as 5.8 GHz is regulated in many countries. The product is intended solely for prototyping, testing, and development purposes and is not suitable for installation in commercial or medical systems.
