A diversity transponder uses two antennas, one on top of the airplane and one below. 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

Yes, ADS-B out is accomplished by Mode S ES (or 978 UAT in the USA).

Mode S coverage from Aireon satellites

requires a transponder antenna on top of the airplane.  

Diversity transponders have two transponder antennas, top and bottom.

I am ashamed of each and every one of you.  @Skates97 started this post over 3 years ago and not ONE PERSON has asked him how many knots he gained.
I'm guessing 10 but I tend to be MooneyConservative.

10kias for the M20G…

M20C’s kias go up to 11! - Spinal Tap.  :)

 

MS teaches about diversity… a pair of antennas…. Top and bottom of the fuselage…. One to broadcast to ground stations… the other to the satellite stations…
