1090MHz 978MHz Dual Band ADS-B Antenna N-Type Female Outdoor 5dBi Fiberglass Antennas + 10ft N-Male to SMA-Male Extension Cable

I’ve been using this 1090MHz/978MHz Dual Band ADS-B Antenna in my attic, and the performance has been outstanding. Even without mounting it outdoors, I’m consistently receiving signals from aircraft up to 200 miles away! The build quality is solid, and it integrates perfectly with my ADS-B setup. Pros: ✅ Excellent Reception – The 5dBi gain provides strong signal reception for both 1090MHz (Mode S/ADS-B) and 978MHz (UAT), making it ideal for tracking aircraft at all altitudes. ✅ Durable Fiberglass Construction – Built to last, with weather resistance that would hold up well outdoors if needed. ✅ N-Type Connector for Low Loss – Works great with low-loss coax like LMR400, ensuring minimal signal degradation. ✅ Compact Yet Powerful – Even indoors, this antenna performs on par with larger outdoor setups. ✅ Easy to Install – No complicated setup—just mount it in a good position, connect it to an SDR/dongle, and start tracking! Cons: ⚠️ Needs a Good Coax Cable – To get the best performance, use low-loss cable (like LMR400) since longer runs can degrade the signal. ⚠️ Attic Performance May Vary – While I get 200+ miles, results may differ depending on obstructions or RF interference.

I just received this a few hours ago, and was anxious to get it at least temporarily mounted outside until I have the time to properly mount it. So right now I have the antenna zip tied in a pretty poor position. I had view1090-fa loaded up on my RPI5 (via an ssh connection on my phone) to monitor in realtime the difference when I connected the new antenna. I was very pleased with the results! The aircraft tracked nearly doubled, as well as the ADS-B message rate (and range). Before I had a pretty junky telescoping antenna (that came with my SDR) mounted in a great position, and now I have this new antenna mounted in a bad position (both with SAW filters) and still have much better results with the new one. Also appreciated the size of it as well as the mounting hardware, feels and looks like quality items. Excited to properly mount it this weekend!

I made my own spider a few years ago, it worked ok, I used to get around 15-20 airplanes and around 60 miles out. What a surprise with the new Tenmory antenna, I now get 40 to 50 airplanes and close to200 miles out. Very happy with this new antenna.

Awesome antenna for ADS-B, mounted on my roof at gutter height and gives me around 180 mile range with lots of aircraft. Good build quality, has been outside in all weather for a couple of years and working great still.

Works great! Installed in my attic, and has good reception through the roof. Installation went well except I was missing a nut, Thankfully I had some spare hardware that I could use to complete the installation.

Mounted on the roof of a one-story house and connected to an ADSBExchange dongle this has picked up aircraft over 200 miles away.

Solid antenna that appears to be tuned to the proper frequencies for ads-b signals. This is pulling in signals from over 200 nautical miles from my location even with the antenna mounted in the attic. It comes with mounting hardware except for the lag bolts that you need to fasten the bracket to the house. It does have U-bolts to mount to a pole, so that's good if you mount it that way.

Had a small antenna in the window and then connected this one that’s mounted on the roof. The stats in the images speak for themselves.

The antenna is physically smaller than I had imagined in my head, however this is to be expected with the 5dBi gain figure along with the fact that it is an antenna for 978 and 1090Mhz (corresponding to a half-wave length of ~15cm (6"). I would consider opening this up to see how it is made but that would certainly disrupt the weather sealing which appears to be quite good. When measured with a spectrum analyzer, the SWR was found to be 1.5:1 at 978Mhz and 1.2:1 at 1090MHz which is quite good considering the manufacture and frequency. I'd consider transmitting on this antenna with figures that decent (though at very low power). The antenna is supplied with a decent N to SMA cable which claims to be RG-58/U which should translate to a signal loss of ~2dB in the 10' of cable versus ~4dB for RG178B/U which is common with whip antenna types; you get 66% more signal for the same length of coax! With a little bit of coax sealing tape, this antenna will be going into service to replace my temporary (portable) magnetic whip antenna. After installing this antenna at the exact same location as the (compromise magnetic) temporary antenna I saw an immediate increase in maximum reception range on the order of 50km. I also noticed a significant increase in the number of aircraft being received in intermediate ranges (100-150km).

Great range and pick up

I'm usually not one to write reviews, but I almost doubled my pickup and doubled my messages received with this antenna. Sub $100, you'd be silly not to try it. FA and F24: tnhau

I have been struggling with a deteriorating Flight Aware antenna to the point of a wifi antenna doing a better job.. screwed this antenna into the coax and while it’s in my hand at ground level it started picking up aircraft 50-100nm away. Now mounted and so far hitting 220nm - FR24, FA and PF stats are all accessible world wide for topher2880
