An antenna system composed of metalines and a single patch is investigated for forming a null within the radiation beam. Both the metalines and patch are printed on a thin dielectric substrate backed by a conducting plane. The metalines are excited in phase to radiate a circularly polarized (CP) conical beam, whose magnitude and phase are almost constant around the vertical center axis of the antenna system. On the other hand, the radiated beam from the patch, which is also CP, has an almost constant magnitude around the vertical center axis of the antenna system, but has a 360-degree shift in the phase. It is found that the phase difference between the input excitation of the metalines and the input excitation of the patch controls the azimuth angle of a null within the radiation beam, while the power difference of the input excitations controls the elevation angle.
