Y-shape Receiver Antenna 5.8GHz 8dbi - RP-SMA Vertically Polarized

This antenna is a vertically polarized directional antenna designed for use on a 5.8GHz FPV receiver. Although most people will be better off using a circular polarized antenna, for certain applications a linear polarized antenna such as this one can yield a greater range. Linear polarization can provide extra range as all the energy is focused on a single plane rather that being dispersed into a cylindrical pattern. In order to get good reception with linear polarized antennas you need to ensure that both transmitting and receiving antennas are aligned to ensure the radiation pattern has maximum overlap. As the antenna is directional, the top tip of Y needs to face towards the transmitter.
