Traditional dual-channel phase-monopulse and amplitude-monopulse antenna systems might electrically steer their difference-channel nulls by suitably adjusting characteristics of their constituent beams or lobes. A phase-monopulse systems' null might be steered by applying suitable relative phase shifts. An amplitude-monopulse systems' null might be steered by applying a suitable relative beam amplitude scaling. The steering of the null might be employed by a continuously mechanically-scanning antenna to stabilize the null direction over a series of radar pulses.
