A wireless communication relay device includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver, each configured to operate over respective communication channels. The channels of the relay device may be configured for co-channel operation or adjacent channel operation. The relay is configured to operate according to a time division multiplexing schedule such that only one transceiver is active (receiving or transmitting) during a given time interval. During inactive intervals, antenna feeds corresponding to inactive transceivers are shunted to ground using controllable RF switches. This antenna feed shunting prevents inactive transceivers from receiving power emitted into the local RF environment, including power emitted by the active transceiver or reflected by surrounding surfaces.
