The Flysky i6S RC transmitter operates within a frequency range of 2.4055 GHz to 2.475 GHz. This range specifies the specific segment of the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band that the transmitter uses for communication with its receiver.
Understanding the Frequency Specifications of the Flysky i6S
The operational capabilities of the Flysky i6S transmitter are defined by several key frequency specifications, which are crucial for understanding its performance and compatibility.
These specifications include:
- Frequency Range: The complete band of radio frequencies over which the transmitter can send signals.
- Band Width: The width of each individual channel within the frequency range.
- Band Number: The total number of distinct channels available within the specified frequency range.
- Transmitting Power: The strength of the radio signal emitted by the transmitter.
Below is a table summarizing the detailed frequency specifications for the Flysky i6S transmitter:
| Specification | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 2.4055 – 2.475 GHz | The specific spectrum used for transmitting control signals. |
| Band Width | 500 KHz | The width of each individual channel used by the AFHDS 2A system. |
| Band Number | 135 | The total count of distinct channels available for frequency hopping, enhancing interference resistance. |
| Transmitting Power | <20 dBm (decibel-milliwatts) | The maximum power output, which is generally below 100 milliwatts (mW) to comply with regulations. |
What These Specifications Mean
- 2.4 GHz Band: The Flysky i6S operates in the 2.4 GHz band, which is a globally recognized frequency for various wireless technologies, including RC systems, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Its widespread use makes it prone to interference, which systems like Flysky's AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System Second Generation) are designed to mitigate.
- Band Width (500 KHz): This refers to the specific frequency space occupied by each individual channel. A smaller bandwidth per channel allows for more channels within a given frequency range.
- Band Number (135): The high number of bands or channels indicates that the AFHDS 2A system can hop between many different frequencies. This frequency hopping capability is vital for robust signal integrity, as it allows the system to quickly switch to a clear channel if interference is detected on the current one, minimizing signal loss and improving reliability.
- Transmitting Power (<20 dBm): This is the power at which the transmitter broadcasts its signals. A power output of less than 20 dBm (which is equivalent to less than 100 milliwatts) is a common standard to adhere to regulatory limits in many countries. While higher power can theoretically increase range, it is tightly regulated to prevent interference with other devices and to manage radio spectrum efficiency.
Operational Range vs. Frequency Range
It's important to differentiate between "frequency range" and "operational range" (or "control distance"). The information provided specifically details the frequency range over which the Flysky i6S operates, along with related signal characteristics. The operational distance—the maximum physical distance over which the transmitter can reliably control an RC model—is not specified by these parameters and can vary significantly based on environmental factors, receiver type, antenna setup, and local interference.
