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

Introduction

The Maple Wireless 5.8G-17dB directional antenna, model RP-AAT, is a high-gain, vertically polarized antenna engineered to significantly enhance your FPV or UAV communication link. When aligned parallel to the ground, it offers vertical polarization, requiring a similarly oriented transmitting antenna for optimal performance. This antenna is specifically designed for applications demanding superior signal strength over long distances or for stable operation with Auto Antenna Tracking (AAT) systems.

Key advantages

• High Gain: Achieve a powerful 17dBi gain for extended signal range.
• Directional Focus: A narrow 16° azimuth angle concentrates the signal for maximum effectiveness.
• Optimized for AAT: Perfectly suited for closed-loop Auto Antenna Tracking systems.
• Stable Long-Distance Flights: Ideal for drone pilots who push the limits of range.
• High-Quality Construction: Reliable performance from Maple Wireless.
• Vertical Polarization: Ensures compatibility with similarly oriented transmitters.
• Wide Frequency Band: Operates efficiently across 5180-5950MHz.

Technical specifications

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

Applications

This directional antenna is an excellent choice for FPV racing, long-range FPV flights, drone cinematography, UAV operations requiring stable control links, and automated tracking systems. Its focused beam is also beneficial for point-to-point communication setups.

Compatibility

The antenna is designed for use with FPV goggles and video transmission systems operating on the 5.8GHz frequency band. Ensure your transmitting antenna is also vertically polarized and oriented correctly for maximum performance. The RP-AAT designation suggests compatibility with Auto Antenna Tracking systems.

FAQ

What is the main advantage of the Maple Wireless 17dB Directional Antenna?

The main advantage is its high gain of 17dBi and a focused 16° beamwidth, which significantly extends the range and improves the stability of your FPV video signal, especially for long-distance flights or with Auto Antenna Tracking systems.

Who is this 17dB directional antenna best suited for?

This antenna is best suited for experienced FPV pilots and UAV operators who require enhanced signal strength for long-range flights, stable video links, or reliable operation with Auto Antenna Tracking (AAT) systems. Its narrow beamwidth demands precise aiming.

What are the technical specifications of the Maple Wireless RP-AAT antenna?

The antenna operates at 5.8G frequency with a 17dBi gain and a bandwidth of 5180-5950MHz. Its dimensions are 136*68*10mm, and it provides vertical polarization when used parallel to the ground, with an approximate 16° azimuth beamwidth.

How does the polarization affect performance?

The antenna is vertically polarized when used parallel to the ground. For optimal performance, your transmitting antenna should also be vertically polarized and oriented correctly. This ensures maximum signal transfer and reception.
