ABSTRACT:
A weather radar system coupled to a weather radar antenna, including a receive circuit for receiving radar returns received by the antenna and a processor for summing portions of the radar return data to obtain a null response. The processor adjusts the phase or power of at least one portion of the radar return data using a steering vector or a tuning vector.
