But it also depends on what kind of flying you're doing and what your goals are. So I'm not sure if pointing the antennas in different directions would work as well as the conventional method of pointing them in the same direction. There was a thread on PP where it was proven with testing equipment that each antenna performed different tasks. My understanding of Lightbridge is that each antenna does a different job. There are other factors related to the physics of the wave forms that others can explain better than I, but this is a basic guiding principle.Ĭetaman's setup is unusual. Fortunately, there is less 5.8GHz pollution than 2.4GHz pollution at this time in our history. 5.8GHz with the same separation will be less affected by the 2.4GHz pollution but could be affected by 5.8GHz pollution. With 2.4GHz, the further your separation in the presence of 2.4GHz pollution (over a reasonably dense, medium to high income suburban community), the more effect the pollution will have on your connection, even with parabolics. I have noticed no difference in performance between the two frequencies and I use 5.8GHz when flying with P4s and P3s. Then you would have to identify that issue. You will easily get a mile unless there is something unusual going on. A distance of something like one-eighth of an inch would be good because the deflected signal would arrive mostly in-phase with the LOS signal. A distance of exactly one half inch would be very bad because the deflected signal would arrive out of phase and would have a tendency to cancel out or weaken the good LOS signal. Since the wavelength of a 5.8 ghz signal is 2.0 inches, a distance of exactly 1.0 inch would be great because the deflected signal would phase-shift 360 degrees - or one wave length. So you have to be concerned about the deflected signal arriving at the receiver out of phase which will in effect damage the straight LOS signal. It gets tricky with the 5.8 because the wavelength is quite a bit smaller than 2.4. To answer this question accurately, we'd have to know the distance from the antenna to the back of the deflector. What do you think?īooster is not a good name for that equipment. I really like mine because it penetrates the jungle so well.ĭoes it matter if I use 2.4 or 5.8GHz frequency with the booster? I know that in theory (with no interference) I should get better range at 2.4GHz, but I am hoping that even on 5.8Ghz with the boosters it will be at least a mile, or so. Included are about every possible flying configuration if you get the right type of parabolics. There you will see what parabolics can do and may give you some background on what purchase you want to make. Check this link to another thread I did a while back. The key is it sends more of the generated signal forward or whatever direction the parabolics are oriented. It seems that they have very good fit, but people complain that it's impossible to have the antennas pointed straight up, because the boosters touching the RC, which may have a negative impact on the signal with the drone close to the RC and above the head.īooster, schmooster what ever it does.
