RHCP Antenna for Racing Drones

Product Description:
Introducing the 5.8G 3dBi 4 Leaf Clover RHCP SMA Antenna with Protective Cover, now available at LOFTY AGROTECH. This high-efficiency, omnidirectional antenna is designed to enhance your FPV experience by effectively rejecting multipath interference, a common issue with standard dipole antennas. Its four-leaf clover design ensures improved signal clarity and extended transmission range, making it ideal for FPV multicopter applications.ā
The antenna operates at a frequency of 5.8GHz with a gain of 3dBi and a standing wave ratio (SWR) of less than 1.5, ensuring efficient signal transmission. It features a robust construction with reinforcement around the cloverleaf base to prevent damage. Additionally, a new protective cover is included to shield the antenna wires during installation on drones. The SMA male connector provides secure and stable connections to your FPV equipment.

š¬ Deeper Technical Dive: 5.8GHz 3dBi 4-Leaf Clover RHCP SMA Antenna (With Dome Cover)
šļø What Makes Cloverleaf Antennas Special in FPV?
The cloverleaf (4-lobe) antenna design is a time-tested performer in FPV because it provides:
Ā RHCP Antenna for Racing Drones Excellent omnidirectional coverage ā suitable for freestyle, racing, or cinematic loops
Ā RHCP Antenna for Racing Drones Circular polarization ā mitigates signal dropouts due to reflected or deflected waves
Ā RHCP Antenna for Racing Drones Natural tolerance to body occlusion, prop wash, and environment-based interference
This makes cloverleaf antennas especially valuable in India, where:
Many pilots fly in semi-urban or indoor environments
Signal reflection from buildings, power lines, or trees is common
Quick, agile flying (freestyle/racing) requires strong real-time video feedback
š Signal Performance Characteristics
Parameter Result / Behavior SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) Typically ā¤1.5:1 ā tuned for FPV band center (5800 MHz) Radiation Pattern True omnidirectional in horizontal plane Gain 3dBi ā balanced between range and beam width Polarization Loss Very low when paired with RHCP receiving antenna Lobe Retention Maintains phase structure inside the plastic dome
š§± Crash-Resistant Construction
The dome-style protective shell offers:
Protection from blade strikes during inverted moves or crashes
Dust and light moisture resistance
Consistent tuning over time (compared to exposed copper lobes that bend)
Secure housing that resists detuning due to temperature and humidity changes
š§° Build Tips from Pro Pilots
š§ Mount orientation matters ā Vertical placement offers best horizontal-plane signal
š Keep at least 3ā5cm away from carbon fiber or metal surfaces to reduce RF shadowing
š© Use nylon nut + washer on SMA base to secure without over-tightening the antenna
ā ļø Don’t use directly with U.FL VTXs unless you’re using a U.FL-to-SMA pigtail
š ļø Ideal for mounting on 3D TPU antenna holders, often found on 5″ FPV frames
š§© Compatible With:
VTX Type Compatibility Analog VTX Eachine TX805, AKK FX2, Rush Tank Solo, Foxeer Reaper DJI Digital VTX Requires SMA adapter (for analog port or Air Unit Lite) Walksnail HD If using analog port or adapter HDZero Use on external SMA ports only (not whoop board) Also ideal for college-built FPV drones, where analog kits are used to teach fundamentals.
š„ Example Use Cases
Scenario Reason to Use This Antenna Outdoor 5ā Freestyle Drone Tough shell survives crashes, 3dBi gain extends range Indoor FPV Race Arena RHCP handles bouncing signals and multipath well College FPV Workshop Drone Visual demo of polarization + crash-friendly build Rooftop Cinematic Drone Omnidirectional = no signal loss in 360° yaw turns Long-Range Cruiser (Analog) Higher gain helps push signal clarity further
