"Any <6GHz antennas can be used with the Pharos controller boad, I favor the "crosshair" type antennas because of its high front/back ratio and uniform beam that put radiated energy where it matter most. You may check www.truerc.ca for…"

"2.4GHz is in our plans for future development. We will tackle the technical challenge of keeping the same dimensions or close.

"The pharos could also scan all antennas and compare their RSSI value. With the RSSI of the 3 best antennas, the direction of the GS can be triangulated. The drone then start moving in that direction and re-scan every few seconds to re-adjust…"

"Is it possible to reach 5Km with the pharos antenna and the set up you describe with the microhard modems?

It can be done using just one Pharos on either GS or aerial vehicle.

"The biggest weakness of the 900 MHz frequency is the limited amount of unlicensed bandwidth in the spectrum.  There is only 26MHz of available spectrum, where other frequencies have as much as 3 times the amount of available spectrum.  In some…"

"900MHz/5.8GHz is a bit of an apple/orange comparison. 900MHz is not as widely accepted at 5.8GHz and does not support as much bandwidth as 5.8GHz can. Using two pharos with 5.8 microhard modem as pictured above provide 10+km of HD video along with…"

"Yes, it have a SMA and can be used with any 5.8GHz Rf device be digital or analog.
The other end of the link can be anything, analog Vtx with RHCP omni or high gain dish.


The ultimate version of this antenna contain it's own microhard modem (1W…"

"This is the elevation plane of one pharos element.



















One advantage of the crosshair type antenna is it's excellent axial ratio (circularity) which is maintained even at extreme beam angles. Unlike a helical, for example, that is…"

"This is the pattern of a single Pharos elements.




















This is an elements with typical pattern of an omni antenna (in red)




















This is the total coverage of the Pharos.

"9.7dBic to be precise and 90deg on the horiz. axis, little less on the vert. as to make it so the beams overlap nicely
