Abstract

Method and apparatus for improving the r.f. isolation between a transmitting and receiving antenna disposed at respectively corresponding spaced apart but relatively adjacent locations. A special compensation radiator is provided at the transmitting and/or receiving antenna site and fed from the same r.f. input/output which feeds the main antenna. The direction, magnitude and phase of r.f. energy radiated and/or received from the compensating radiator are chosen so as to substantially cancel the undesirable r.f. energy otherwise directly received by the receiving antenna from the transmitting antenna.
