I found this recount of Villard's life achievements interesting.

This lead me to an IEEE paper discussing the stealht antenna for nulling out jammers...

Joe,

Yes, that is another Villard direction finding technique. As shown, it is for HF, and I don't know
that it would produce the sharp nulls at VHF that the CAGE would, but it certainly
would be worth trying.

Additionally, the CAGE works in 3 dimensions, that is, it has selectivity in the elevation
plane, as well as the azimuth plane.

Maybe someone could try both and report their findings here.

Cheers,

Rod KM6SN

Rod,

Very interesting info.

Wondering whether this is used to track down broadband noise as opposed to a narrowband emitter?

Thanks for sharing.
