Guide to ELRS Antennas – Featuring Moxon Designs

At Prodrone.pl, we specialize in high-performance antennas for ExpressLRS (ELRS) systems across all frequency bands. Whether you’re a racer needing 2.4GHz responsiveness or a long-range pilot using 868/900/915MHz, choosing the right antenna is crucial for optimal performance.

Why Your ELRS Antenna Choice Matters

Modern ELRS systems offer incredible range and latency, but their performance depends heavily on your antenna selection. The right antenna:

✔ Maximizes signal strength and reliability
✔ Reduces packet loss for smoother control
✔ Extends your operational range
✔ Survives crashes and harsh conditions

In-Depth Look at Moxon Antennas

What Makes Moxon Antennas Special?

Moxon antennas (a type of Yagi-Uda variant) offer unique advantages for FPV pilots:

  • Directional Gain (5-6dBi) – Focuses signal in one direction while maintaining wide coverage
  • Compact Size – Much smaller than traditional Yagi antennas
  • Excellent Front-to-Back Ratio – Reduces interference from behind
  • 250°+ Coverage When Mounted Vertically – Provides wide-angle reception while maintaining directionality

Moxon Radiation Pattern

When mounted vertically:

  • Primary lobe covers ~250° horizontally
  • Reduced sensitivity directly behind antenna
  • Excellent elevation coverage (±45° from horizontal)

This makes them ideal for:

  • Mid-range FPV flying (1-5km)
  • Situations where directional gain is needed but full omnidirectional isn’t necessary
  • Reducing multipath interference in urban environments

Advanced Installation Tips

Moxon Antenna Mounting Guide

For optimal performance:

  1. Vertical Orientation – Maximizes the 250° coverage pattern
  2. Clear of Carbon Fiber – Mount at least 5cm away from CF frames
  3. TX Antenna Positioning – Point the flat side toward your flight area
  4. RX Antenna Placement – Best at 90° to TX antenna for diversity

Maintenance Tips

  • Regularly check connectors for damage
  • Keep antennas clean from dirt and moisture
  • Store in anti-static bags when not in use
  • Avoid sharp bends in coax cables
