As for getting "beams", if you add together a lot of antennas on a long
baseline (tens of kilometres) whether for Tx or Rx you will get what
superficially look like multiple narrow "beams" with very deep (40-50 dB)
nulls between them. The longer the baseline or the more antennas you use
the more "beams" and nulls you will get. In fact, an interferometer. The
problem is that the "gain" in any one beam is miniscule, perhaps 0.5
dB.
Would the steerable attenuation be more useful for nulling out interference than
the gain itself?
