The present application provides a method and a circuit for determining an additional maximum power reduction for conforming to emission requirements for dual carrier operation, where each carrier has an associated respective one of multiple different radio access technologies, and where each of the multiple different radio access technologies uses a different antenna. The method includes associating in a wireless communication device each one of at least a pair of antennas with a different radio access technology for supporting communications between the wireless communication device and at least a first wireless network. An amount of isolation is identified between the at least pair of antennas. A minimum level of the additional is maximum power reduction needed for conforming to the emission requirements is determined, based on the identified amount of isolation.
