"Will the output of two amplifiers add together in directions where the signal is in phase, or will it act like two different signals and therefore interfere with each other?" For stereo? The signals are coherent from two amplifiers or from one. Two close antennas fed the same signal in the same phase generally add broadside to the plane containing the antennas and cancel at right angles to the lobes containing the added signals. See page 91 of Kraus` 3rd efition of "Antennas" for: "Two Isotropic Point Sources of the Same Amplitude and Phase." Another example is the pair af CB antennas used by truckers, one on either side of the truck cab, to reinforce the signal fore and aft of the truck. The 1/2-wave dipole is another example. Its two elements have the same cuerrent amplitude and direction. Its lobes are broadside and its nulls are at right angles off the tips of the elements. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
