UHF Antenna Multicoupler Antenna Use and Placement Try to position the antennas so that they are not within 3 or 4 feet of large metal surfaces. It is also good to maintain a direct “line of sight” between the transmitter and the receiver antennas. In situations where the operating range is less than about 50 feet, the antenna positioning is much less critical. Diversity receiver designs apply various circuitry to select or combine two antennas to reduce or eliminate multipath drop-outs.
