Ideal for professionals seeking reliable, long-range aircraft signal reception in compact form. ## Description A pair of 5dBi, medium-sized, lightweight antennas with 978MHz and 1090MHz center frequencies, respectively, designed for portable ADS-B applications. Also included are a pair of 15cm (6") male MCX to female SMA pigtail cables, made from RG316 cable for low loss. As such, these antennas can be used with MCX-input or SMA-input devices without further purchase. Each antenna is only 20g and 19cm (7.5") long, 5dBi, with a VSWR of 1.5:1 or better at their respective center frequencies. A handy flexible antenna elbow facilitates a wide range of mounting options. Review: Only really needed the 1090MHz antenna (shame it’s not available on its own) - Using the 1090MHz antenna with an SDR and Raspberry Pi in an upstairs bedroom, I can pick up ADS-B transmissions from just over 100nm away. Review: Good - After trying for a couple of months, I have seen an increase in signals/reports from aircraft compared to my wideband scanner antenna I had been using. ## Features - Kit contains a 1090MHz SMA antenna, a 978MHz SMA antenna, and 2 male MCX to female SMA pigtail cables - Perfect for embedded, portable or ground ADS-B applications where weight, size and range are all concerns. - Antennas have foldable hinges for a multitude of mounting options - Compatible with any SDR with SMA or MCX input connector - Pigtail cables are made from quality RG316 and kept to 6" in length to minimize loss ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01J9DH9U2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 51,399 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 932 in Radio Communication | | Colour | Nan | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (257) | | Date First Available | 29 July 2016 | | Item Weight | 40 g | | Item model number | 100714 | | Other display features | Wireless | | Package Dimensions | 20 x 5 x 1.7 cm; 40 g | ## Images ![ADS-B Discovery 5dBi (High Gain) Antenna Bundle - 1090MHz & 978MHz Antenna Bundle for SMA and MCX-Connected Software Defined Radios (SDRs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815E6tA4ySL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only really needed the 1090MHz antenna (shame it’s not available on its own) *by P***O on 23 May 2020* Using the 1090MHz antenna with an SDR and Raspberry Pi in an upstairs bedroom, I can pick up ADS-B transmissions from just over 100nm away. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by C***S on 21 August 2018* After trying for a couple of months, I have seen an increase in signals/reports from aircraft compared to my wideband scanner antenna I had been using. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent small aerial *by G***D on 2 February 2017* Improved the number of aircraft seen by about 160% compared to the standard stick aerial (even when this was mounted on a good ground plane). ## Frequently Bought Together - NooElec ADS-B Discovery 5dBi (High Gain) Antenna Bundle - 1090MHz & 978MHz Antenna Bundle for SMA and MCX-Connected Software Defined Radios (SDRs) - Nooelec RTL-SDR v5 SDR - NESDR Smart HF/VHF/UHF (100kHz-1.75GHz) Software Defined Radio.
