abstract: A comparison between thinned array and phased array for pattern nulling is proposed in this report. 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.
