Electrical to provide insight on where the antennas should be mounted to minimize RF interference with devices such as GPS sensors, and also to provide detailed information on coax cable extensions. |
The RFD900x will use the stock dipole antennas (the long ones), which means that RF Noise generated by the RFD900 may be fairly close to the source. It is recommended to use coaxial cable extensions to mount the antennas at least 20cm away from each other. Recommendations to put one antenna along the edge of a wing, and to place the other antenna vertically along a vertical stabilizer or landing gear. Maintain one antenna perpendicular to horizon and one antenna parallel to horizon.

There will be 2 major components to the video system, one is the video relay and the other is the video receive devices. The video relay handles the transition between low frequency (1.3GHz) analog video into 5.8 GHz analog video. This video relay system will exist on a unique video relay tower, which houses the 1.3ghz antenna (singularity 1280), the 1.3ghz VRX, as well as the 5.8 GHz VTX and the respective antenna. Note that the VRX outputs video in an RCA format, and this will need to be spliced to solder pads or 2.54mm pitch pins on the VTX. The singularity 1280 must also be mounted so that the null zone is vertical.
If the 5.8 VTX were to be the Rush Tank Race II, then the antenna would be a u.fl terminated rush cherry w/long stem. If the 5.8 VTX were to be an AKK TS832, then the antenna would be an SMA terminated rush cherry w/stem. EE to provide clarity on whether or not adapters are needed. Both VTX will take signal from the video receiver, and share common VBatt & GND where VBatt is a 3S voltage. This VTX will be paired with the VRX, and can either be mounted on a tripod or a tall PVC pipe. This VTX may also require some degree of active cooling, consider how a fan may be mounted.
