Hi All - I just got my phantom 3 standard a few weeks ago. I've seen a ton of info about antenna upgrades on all versions include on the 3 standard - however not a ton of RF specific data.
Being an RF engineer I decided to run a few tests on the signal and post some simple results here.
First the WiFi portion of the connection operates in the 2.4Ghz spectrum and is using channel 2 with a standard 20mhz wide channel.
This is a bad choice for the channel as it overlaps with the standard ues of channels 1,6,11 in WiFi and will cause 1 and 6 to have to interoperate with the controller.
The vision system and controls appear to be operating in the 5Ghz spectrum specifically on channels 149,153, 157 and 161
See the attached spectrum profile
