1. Introduction
The Omega 5.8 GHz clover leaf antenna set comprises of one each of a Tx and Rx
antenna. They are omni-directional, high efficiency, circularly polarized antennas with
a robust housing for UAV, FPV, and other wireless video transmission/receiving
equipment. Circular polarized antennas are an ideal choice for UAV’s because the
signal link is much more stable (max 3dB decrease) in different orientations than when
using a linear antenna where one could easily have a 20dB+ decrease depending on
orientation.
The Omega features an excellent efficiency of over 70%. High efficiency antennas are
needed for the higher throughout requirements of drone applications, especially high
definition video streams.
Unlike most antennas in this market which are made in small workshops without RF
chambers, Taoglas antennas are designed and manufactured in world class
manufacturing facilities to the most stringent standards. We show the true polarization
and gain performance tested in our multi-million dollar RF facilities. Most of our
competitors just show theoretical circular polarized patterns and gains which are not
indicative of anywhere close to the real circular polarization, many are actually linearly
polarized at the frequencies of interest, in fact there is no small antenna of this type
that can maintain true circular polarization across the whole WiFi band (true circular
polarization being defined by the axial ratio being below 3). We have tested many
antennas on the market and many of the competitors axial ratio performance of 10
and above indicate they are actually linear polarized antennas. Also, every Taoglas
antenna must pass level quality control and records of every antenna performance are
kept forever on our systems.
The Omega antenna set includes a clover leaf TX antenna and a clover leaf RX antenna.
The antenna is simple to install on 5.8GHz video transmitters and receivers and
features a circular, robust housing to protect the inner antenna structure during rough
