Hi Bill and everyone- I am grateful for the insights. I have two goals- first is two antennas for radiated emissions. Second goal is dual antenna for radiated susceptibility(i.e. immunity ). The insights on emissions are a great start.
Has anyone attempted dual antennas for susceptibility/immunity? -Patrick.
