DJI O3 Range - DJI stock Linear antennas on your copter vs TrueRC CP antennas


Been testing DJI O3 with stock antennas and better TrueRC Singularity antennas (next pic) to find out how the bitrate will be if flying a bit further out...

In the right chart you see that the bitrate stays really nice in the high 30-40mbit range, where it is more around 20mbit when I was using O3 stock (mixed with TrueRC Xair2 on the DJI goggles v2 - which is an polarization mismatch!).

SO - maybe pairing the DJI goggles2 stock antennas with their stock O3 airunit antennas on the copter will yield better results than my (left) scenario...

But I'm pretty sure that many pilots will have a mixed situation (since we also use Vistas and CP antennas because we don't buy 10 new O3 airunits ;) for alle the quads yet :)

O.R.T. Digieyes V2 - DJI FPV dualband Patch antennas

Eko from ORT sent me these antennas SPECIFICALLY created for the DJI FPV drone. Since the V2 goggles and the DJI FPV drone use Occusync3 and here two frequency bands (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz) you need to take care which antennas you use (if you want to move away from the stock stubbies). On V1 DJI we could just use any 5.8GHz antennas (from analog times). One reason to move to such directional aftermarket antennas would be the very limited poweroutput in CE mode. Skip to my conclusion to see the results of my 5 testflights - or get some popcorn and enjoy the show ;)

►Test setup: fly over field, fixed alt 50m - turn around on 2km distance (or if video get's too bad) use 2.4GHz 40MHz mode manual (WIFI shouldnt be issue there) Test1: FCC mode + stock ant (baseline) Test2: FCC mode + dualband patches bottom, stock top Test3: CE mode + Stock Test4: CE mode + dualband patches bottom, stock top Test5: CE mode 5.8 + dualband patches bottom, stock top (is there a difference if I go from 2.4 to 5.8GHz?) ►ORT Digieyes V2 Specs: 11dBi dualband 2.4/5.8 H: 110° V: 75° beam width 10° H offset & 7° V offset each panel Working Frequency : 2350-2500 MHz & 5600-6000 MHz Gain (dBi) : 11dBi SWR/S11 : less than 1:1.5 at both working frequency Polarization : Linear Polarization (match with DJI Drone default linear antenna) Connector : RP-SMA with rg316 cables (fits to DJI Goggles V1 & V2) Antenna dimensions : 15.5cm(length), 7.5cm(width) & 1.8cm (thick) Weight : 82 g

WORLDS FASTEST USB RF Spectrum Analyzer - Aaronia Spectran V6 RSA500x

Aaronia Spectran V6 RSA500x RF analyzer:

  • extremly low POI (probability of intercept, how short of an RF signal spike can the device "see") 97ns (FFT-based) 10ns (I/Q-based)
  • fast sweep speed: over 500GHz/s, it can sweep 6 GHz in less than 10ms
  • RTBW (realtime bandwidth) 120MHz! (can be unlocked to 245MHz)
  • Range: 10 MHz to 6 GHz
  • Dimensions: 210 x 115 x 30 mm, 860gr weight
  • powerbank in same formfactor with 26Ah
  • for mobile use: powerfull laptop! (or reduced fps) larger Powerbank (needs to supply enough WATTS!) or only 120MHz scan rate with one USB 3.2g2

Profiles are loaded on program start (if you change something in these XML files, restart the program! They are sometimes "connected" or nested together. If the parent is missing you wont see a child profile! Profile "Labels" are only visible below a spectrum if in spectrum settings the option "accept profiles" is active! It's better to choose the profiles in "Config" of Spectrum rather than with the Ribbon button... BASIC RF spectrum knowledge:
  • RBW (bandwidth - how accurate do I look at RF?) lower is better (more accurate) but slower sweep
  • VBW (video filter - low (100khz) filters MUCH, FULL settings means highest detail!) higher is better (less smoothing) but you see more noise (set to low if you only wanna see powerfull signals clean)

Surprising results! DJI Goggles Antenna tested 2.3km away (stationary!)

1st Test up there: https://youtu.be/RQML-azG4bQ 
Last week I did a practical flying test with the same antennas: https://youtu.be/8TYY1-3Lo_c 
These are the DJI goggles V2 antennas: https://youtu.be/FsKhaigxpJs 
I also tested the ORT Digieyes (which are quite similar to the ChrystalHDs): https://youtu.be/PvSZYhobc24

VAS Cyclops V2 vs Helicals vs iFlight Chrystal (Hexplorer)

ad a very nice early spring evening (finally longer days!) and first a great longrange flight, then enough batteries to test some DJI antennas for you. See how the VAS CYCLOPS V2 perform against iFlight ChrystalHD and Henriks Deathray Helicals... If you don't like this "realworld" testing approach, skip it and wait for the next test (which will be the stationary 2.3km distance test again.
