TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna (SMA)

TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna – Directional 5.8GHz FPV Reception Solution

The TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna serves pilots who require stable forward-facing signal reception in 5.8GHz FPV systems. Unlike omnidirectional antennas that radiate evenly in all directions, this patch antenna concentrates signal strength within a focused 110° beam. This design improves video clarity, reduces signal breakup, and enhances long-range consistency when you fly in front of your position.

Operating within the 5700–5900 MHz band, the antenna supports standard 5.8GHz analog FPV transmission systems. With 5dBi gain, it delivers stronger signal penetration than traditional cloverleaf designs while maintaining a practical beamwidth for everyday flying environments.

TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna Performance & Real-World Range

In practical field conditions, the antenna delivers approximately 1.5km of reliable video reception when you pair it with a 200mW transmitter. Pilots use it for park flying, freestyle sessions, and controlled long-range exploration. The directional radiation pattern strengthens forward signal performance and reduces interference from behind the pilot.

For pilots requiring even more directional gain, you may also consider the GEPRC 5.8GHz Patch Antenna , which provides higher dBi output for extended range setups.

TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna Circular Polarization Benefits

The RHCP (Right-Hand Circular Polarization) configuration minimizes multipath interference that signal reflections create. FPV systems widely use circular polarization because it maintains stronger signal integrity when pilots fly near structures, terrain, or obstacles.

If you pair it with an RHCP aircraft antenna, the system maintains optimal compatibility. For example, the iFlight Albatross Antenna delivers a complementary airborne solution.

TBS 5G8 RHCP Patch Antenna Compact Design & Mounting

The square housing measures just 35 x 35mm and maintains a compact, lightweight structure. You can mount it directly onto FPV goggles or video receivers without additional support brackets. The SMA connector supports broad compatibility with most analog receiver modules.

The lightweight construction reduces stress on goggle antenna ports and withstands transportation and field use.

Directional Coverage Strategy

The 110° beamwidth creates a balance between focused signal strength and usable coverage area. Pilots who fly primarily in front of their position gain the most benefit from patch-style antennas. For optimal diversity setups, many pilots combine this antenna with an omnidirectional antenna on the second receiver channel.
