What is the difference between a smart antenna and a regular one?

What is the difference between the one-antenna r/c receiver and the two-antenna r/c receiver?

  • Answer:

    The receiver with two antennae uses what's called "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_diversity" to get better reception. The receiver constantly compares the signal strength between the two, and uses the signal from whichever antenna has the better signal at that moment. The basic idea is that if one antenna is positioned or oriented in a way that leads to poor reception, the other antenna will probably still have a good signal because its position and orientation will be slightly different.
