The RF switch control or the phase shifter control are realized by indirectly maximizing the SINR to locate deep nulls along the directions-of-arrival (DoAs) of the interferences such to enable the use of these antenna systems for point-to-point communications or radar applications. A time-varying scenarios where single and multiple interfering signals impinge on the array from different angular directions is considered.
