There shall be at least 2 tracking antennas, each operating at one frequency (900MHz & 1.3GHz respectively).

 

There will be the following hardware components:

1 rfd900x https://store.rfdesign.com.au/rfd-900x-modem/

1 1.3ghz vrx RMRC 900MHz-1.3Ghz High Performance Receiver with Custom Tuner

1 RCA splitter (1 to 2 or 1 to 4) https://www.amazon.ca/axGear-Video-Audio-Splitter-Screen/dp/B01MFAJKEM/

(potentially) 1 5.8GHz VTX Eachine TS5828L 600mW 5.8Ghz 40CH Mini FPV Transmitter VTX with LED Display For Tiny RC Drone

(potentially) 1 5.8GHz VRX Monitor Eachine LCD5802D 5802 5.8G 40CH 7 Inch FPV Monitor with DVR Build-in Battery for RC Drone Airplane Long Range

(potentially) 5.8GHz Goggles (we’ll just count these separately since they should just work with a 5.8 relay)

1 computer w/main monitor

battery power for rc-link & video

a nucleo?, maybe with external power distribution for the servos.

 

 

900 MHz Antenna System
1 patch antenna: X-AIR 900 - TrueRC Canada

1 omni antenna: SINGULARITY 868 - TrueRC Canada

? servos

1.3 GHz Antenna System

1 patch antenna: X-AIR 1.3 - TrueRC Canada

1 notch filter: TBS 1.2GHz VRX Notch Filter (868/915 MHz) Antennas | Team BlackSheep

? servos

 

** the further apart the antennas, the better **

Also, ideally, all the electronics are inside the case…with a distribution panel for all our connectors

Similarily, if there’s terminated connectors on the stand that we can just clip into, probably makes setup/takedown easier. (servos & antennas)
