I cannot understand why you did not do that in the first place as it is obvious that two antenna is the absolute minimum to keep at least one in view of the Tx at all times. Is there a physical or technical reason why you cannot do that or is it simply because you do not feel it is needed?
It is a technical reason. Have a look at the XBee modules in use.
They only have one antenna.

Recently, there were claims about this techology being "patented".
But until a patent number is provided, I do not believe a word.
