Abstract
Various avionics systems may benefit from the proper handling of diversity with respect to antennas. For example, systems and methods for remote L-band smart antenna distance measuring equipment may benefit from being prepared to provide diversity against interference, such as a multipath interference. A method can include determining which antenna of a plurality of antennas of an aircraft is preferred for communication with respect to distance measuring equipment. The method can also include selecting the antenna based on the determination.
