- How much isolation is needed?
- Single vs separate antennas
- Typical transmitter combiners
- Series
- Parallel (Star)
- Hybrid
- Combiner frequency limitations
- Insertion loss vs channel spacing
- Typical receiver combiners
- Other considerations
- AS/NZS 5070.1:2008
- Siting and operation of radiocommunications facilities
- PIM (passive intermodulation)
- PIP (peak instantaneous power)
- Lightning (grounding)
