    Help! Clover Leaf vs. Skew-Planar vs. Helical antennas

    I've heard of Clover Leaf, Skew-Planar, and Helical antennas. Are all of these the same and work together or are they all different? I want to get into FPV, but it's stuff like this that is prohibiting me. Thanks.

    New FPV antenna idea?

    Firstly, i have not tried any of these ideas, nor am i an elite FPV pilot, however i was thinking about this idea, and... CP cloverleaf antennas work best when they are parallel. If the antennas become out of phase, the signal strength massively drops. This effect is even more prominent in...

    3 Leaf TX and 4 Leaf RX Antennas - Why?

    Is there a simple explanation of why there should be 3 leaves on a TX and 4 leaves on a RX antenna? I'm referring to 5.8/1.2 FPV antennas. What happens if you run 4 leaves on a TX or 3 leaves on a RX? I'd guess some range reduction but I'm not sure why.

    Spray Painting Antennas

    Robot communications

    I know this may not be the right place for it but I'm building a fully autonomous robot that will traverse through any building and map out a blueprint of what's in there. (Original idea was three quad copters, but seemed a little dangerous with all those props flying around people :) ) I'm...
