Operating principle and design

The BeastFPV MATEK antenna is a type of Vee dipole antenna. This design consists of two symmetrical arms, separated in the shape of a Latin letter V. This provides an omnidirectional diagram in the horizontal plane and good coordination with the path. A dipole antenna emits a linearly polarized wave. For maximum efficiency, it is recommended to use an antenna with similar linear polarization at the receiver.

The key feature of this model is an exceptionally low SWR of 1.1. This means that almost all the power of the video transmitter goes into the air, and is not reflected back and does not heat the cable. For high-power VTXs such as 1.5W models, this is critical to maintaining their performance. A characteristic impedance of 50 ohms is standard for most FPV devices. The 8 cm cable length allows you to conveniently place the antenna on the drone frame.

Specifications and Compatibility

Explore the detailed parameters of the BeastFPV MATEK 1.2GHz antenna. Antenna type dipole Vee. The operating frequency range is from 1050 to 1350 MHz. The central frequency at which the best parameters are achieved is 1240 MHz. The SMA connector (male) is suitable for most video transmitters in this range. The cable length from the connector to the base of the antenna is 8 centimeters.

The gain is 3 dB, which is a good indicator for a dipole antenna. Characteristic impedance is standard 50 Ohm. Polarization is linear. The standing wave ratio (SWR or SWR) is an impressive 1.1. This indicates excellent coordination and minimal losses. Overall dimensions 87×140×8 mm. The weight of the device is only 7 grams.

Areas of application and operation

The antenna is ideal for use with powerful 1.2 GHz video transmitters. It works great on FPV drones for long range flights. Its low weight allows it to be installed even on relatively small copters. Linear polarization requires the correct selection of the antenna on the receiving side. It is recommended to use a second similar dipole antenna on the ground station or glasses.

When installing, try to place the antenna away from massive conductive parts of the frame. Do not bend the cable at sharp angles. Heat shrink can be used to further protect the soldering area. Protect the antenna from impacts during hard landings.
