TBS Airscrew 5.8GHz LR SMA Antenna - RHCP
by Team Black Sheep

Maximize your analog or digital video transmission clarity with the TBS Airscrew 5.8GHz LR SMA Antenna. This high-efficiency, long-range (LR) omnidirectional antenna is a premium, licensed interpretation of the renowned Video Aerial Systems (VAS) Airscrew design. Formulated by world-class antenna pioneer IBCrazy and precision-engineered by Team BlackSheep, this antenna is meticulously crafted to deliver rock-solid video links for extreme-distance FPV flights, high-speed multirotor racing, and dependable sUAS data transmission.

At the core of the Airscrew design are five multi-phase elements that work in unison to generate a near-perfect circular polarization pattern. This advanced geometric configuration produces a remarkably low 0.95 axial ratio, ensuring the antenna aggressively rejects cross-polarized signal interference and eliminates the multi-path reflections that cause screen static, jello, and sudden video dropouts. Its ultra-wideband tuning covers an expansive frequency range of 4900MHz to 6100MHz, ensuring flawless operation across the entire 5.8GHz spectrum, including custom racing bands and extended lower or higher operational frequencies.

Durability is paramount for high-performance aircraft. The TBS Airscrew features an integrated double-jacket semi-rigid cable that provides superior impact resistance while holding its shape perfectly, allowing you to angle the antenna away from RF-shielding components like carbon fiber frames, lithium-polymer batteries, and high-power ESCs. The specialized antenna cap is encased in an ultrasonically welded plastic housing, giving it top-tier crash protection during high-velocity impacts. Boasting an extended 130mm overall height, it is an outstanding option for long-range fixed-wing platforms, aggressive FPV freestyle quads, and high-performance video receiver ground stations such as diversity modules.
