RigExpert Minigun 5.8 GHz Droneport Antenna is a directional antenna for compatible UAV, telecom and field communication systems operating from 5725–5875 MHz. With a published gain of 15 dBi, it concentrates coverage within a defined radiation pattern rather than providing uniform coverage in every direction. Its factory-tuned design requires no field adjustment, making setup straightforward when paired with suitable radio equipment.
The RigExpert Minigun manufacturer specifies a 90° horizontal-plane pattern and an 8° vertical-plane pattern. This broad horizontal sector and narrow vertical beam make antenna positioning important when establishing a link. Standard polarisation is vertical, with horizontal polarisation available upon request. Match the antenna’s polarisation to the other end of the link and position it so the intended coverage area remains within the useful beam.
An SMA female connector provides the RF interface, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The published maximum power handling is 250 W, and the specified SWR is below 1.5. Power handling describes the antenna’s rating, not a required operating power or a permitted transmitter setting. The antenna is passive: its gain comes from the radiation pattern rather than an internal powered amplifier.
RigExpert Minigun uses a robust duralumin profile without plastic components. Its slim format measures 450 mm along its longest dimension and weighs 400 g, supporting transport and installation where space is limited. A 1/4-inch screw mounting provision allows integration with a suitable support. No field tuning is required, but mounting orientation, cable loss and connector compatibility remain important when assembling the complete radio link.
