    Diversity reception The EM 100 G2 receiver operates on the “true diversity” principle: A receiving antenna receives not only the electromagnetic waves which reach it by a direct path, but also the reflections of these waves which are created in the room by walls, windows, ceilings and fittings. When these waves are superimposed, destructive interference occurs, which can also be called “field strength gaps”.
