Abstract

To improve null depths in an antenna pattern of a first polarization, formed with nulls in at least one angular region, a further antenna pattern of a second polarization, substantially orthogonal to the first polarization, is concurrently formed. In the angular region, the amplitudes of the copolar components of the further antenna pattern are substantially equal to the amplitudes of the crosspolar components of the antenna pattern of the first polarization, and the phases of the copolar components of the further antenna pattern of the second polarization are substantially opposite to the phases of the crosspolar component of the first polarization.
