One version involves resistively summing the two LISN signals, and
feeding the result to the EMC analyzer. Summing removes the
Differential Mode portion, leaving only Common Mode signals:

LISN1 signal --+---R1----+
                | |
                R2 |
                | +----R1----> To 50 ohm EMC receiver
             ground |
                          |
                          |
LISN2 signal ---+---R1----+
                |
                R2
                |
             ground
 
R1=16.7 ohm
R2=50 ohm

Resistor matching and symmetrical circuit layout is crucial for proper
operation.

Another method involves RF transformers to sum (leaving Common Mode)
or difference (giving Differential Mode) the LISN signals.
Mini-Circuits (http://www.minicircuits.com/) has parts that can do
this. Look for Power Splitters/Combiners - 2 Way - 0 degree/180 degree
I haven't tried this method.
