1.2 GHz FPV Antennas – Reliable Long-Range Solutions for Challenging Environments
Optimized for Low-Frequency Transmission & High Signal Integrity
1.2 GHz antennas are specialized communication tools designed to operate in the lower UHF band, offering unique advantages in penetration, range, and signal stability. Ideal for both professional and hobbyist applications where reliability matters more than raw bandwidth.
Why Choose the 1.2 GHz Band?
Superior Obstacle Penetration
The lower frequency of 1.2 GHz offers excellent propagation through physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, and terrain—outperforming common 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz systems in cluttered or low-line-of-sight conditions.
Long-Range first preson view Transmission Potential
With support for high-power modules (up to 8W / 8000 mW), this band enables extended communication distances—especially suitable for point-to-point ground links or video transmission in difficult terrain.
Low Interference Environment
Unlike the congested 2.4 GHz band (shared with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and consumer gadgets), 1.2 GHz offers a quieter spectrum, minimizing the risk of signal degradation due to interference.
Typical Use Cases
-
UAV Ground Stations (where legally permitted)
-
Surveillance and Tactical Systems
-
Remote Sensor Networks in urban canyons, forests, or underground
-
Amateur Radio (HAM) experiments on 23cm band (e.g., 1240–1300 MHz)
-
Long-Range FPV Analog & Digital Video Transmission
-
Rugged Industrial Links between facilities
Available 1.2 GHz Modules
Commercial-Grade Options:
-
Analog AV transmitters (commonly 1–2W or 4–8W) for FPV or monitoring
-
Digital COFDM modules for encrypted or multi-channel links
-
Telemetry transmitters used in specialized ground-to-ground systems
Hobbyist Options:
-
Lower-power AV transmitters (500–1500 mW) for experimental FPV
-
HAM radio transceivers for the 23cm band
-
DIY kits for telemetry and data transmission projects
Note: Some modules are marketed for 1.2 GHz, but operate in the 1.3 GHz (1258–1280 MHz) subrange—be sure to match with compatible antennas.
Antenna Types & Applications
| Type | Recommended Use | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Dipole | Portable and mobile systems | Compact, often foldable, good bandwidth |
| Ground Plane | Base stations and static links | Stable impedance, rugged construction |
| Yagi-Uda | Long-distance directional links | High gain (10–14 dBi), focused beamwidth |
| Helical / Patch | UAV or drone links (where legal) | Circular polarization, compact footprint |
Important Regulatory Considerations
The 1.2 GHz band is tightly regulated in many countries:
-
Restricted or military-only use in areas like China and parts of Europe
-
Prohibited for airborne use (e.g., drones) in many jurisdictions without special licensing
-
Permitted under amateur radio (HAM) regulations in the 1240–1300 MHz band, but only for licensed operators
Always check your local RF laws and licensing requirements before purchasing or operating 1.2 GHz equipment.
