The belly of my LIV has the transponder and a bent Whip comm antenna on it. They were both mounted directly to the carbon skin with no further attempt at providing additional ground plane. I have had no problems with transponder identification or communication and, of course, the installation was very easy. FWIW Fred Egli LIV N1228E
