Abstract
The retrodirective or perturbation beam concept is often used to aid in explaining the nulling of interference sources. The classical explanation for cancellation of a single-zero-bandwidth source is that of a perturbation beam steered to and peaking at that interferer angle. The subtraction of this perturbation beam from the main beam causes the nulling. It is shown that, for discrete point main and auxiliary antennas, this explanation can be generalized to non-zero bandwidth sources. It is demonstrated that if the main and auxiliary antennas are spatial points, then the retrodirective beam is nonuniformly weighted, steered to the interference source, and peaks at the interferer angle. For the more realistic assumption of a nonpoint main antenna, the retrodirective beam does not peak at the interferer angle for any bandwidth. >
