Probably not needed in the USA in the near term but many countries including Canada are scheduled to require diversity transponders to permit satellites to replace ground radar sites. Are you talking about ADS-B out? I am installing Dynon’s Mode S transponder that will read it’s position from GPS never mind. Reading about it right now Quote

Mode S coverage from Aireon satellites https://aireon.com requires a transponder antenna on top of the airplane. Diversity transponders have two transponder antennas, top and bottom. 1 Quote
