What failures are possible with this system? What happens if one of the receivers fail?
What about this 'diversity computer'? Are there any failure modes that would cause the other receiver to get confused?
I can see where the benefits may lie, but is not a 'redundant system' as they are interconnected.
I think, the interconnection of both systems gives the huge andvantage. Only if both systems are able to decide which signal is ok, the benefits of a dual receiver system come into play. As the redundant systems in e.g the space shuttle, the system is interconnected TO DECIDE which signal is ok. (OK, the shuttle my be not the best example tist days, but you get the message;-))
