Abstract
An antenna subject to standoff sidelobe barrage jamming exhibits a null in its sidelobe structure at a selectable elevation angle for all azimuth angles of interest. The null can be set to the elevation angles corresponding to the angle of the standoff jammers. The null is generated with the aid of an interferometer associated with each column of the antenna array. The interferometer produces a pattern having a plurality of lobes. The interferometer pattern is phased and amplitude adjusted relative to the antenna pattern of its associated column line array so that subtraction of the patterns causes one or more sidelobe of the antenna pattern to be at least partially canceled. An azimuth beamformer combines the elevation patterns of a plurality of column arrays, each connected to its own interferometer, to produce a pencil beam with a sidelobe structure exhibiting a null at the particular elevation angle.
