Adaptive Beamforming is like Squeezing a Water Balloon
Think of adaptive beamforming as squeezing a water balloon, a simple analogy that reveals how combining multiple antennas creates focused gains and deep nulls. This post walks through the MVDR (Wiener-filter–based) solution, explains steering and scanning vectors, and shows how array geometry and known signal direction control what you can and cannot cancel. Practical tips highlight limits like the N-1 interferer rule.
