A patch antenna is a type of polarized antenna that is used for receiving/transmitting (mostly used for RX with FPV) a radio signal from the direction it’s pointed (Directional).The flat surface should be pointed towards the intended flight pattern. A Patch antenna will help cut down on interference from unwanted signals allowing for better range. For best reception keep a patch antenna’s cord coming from the top or bottom and close to the ground for higher attitude flights (8″-24″).Higher above the ground for low attitude flights (6′-12′).
