Overlaying the two patterns of in-phase and out-of-phase: 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Figure 5 

 
 
If signals arrive in a null of the in-phase pattern, changing to out-of-phase can result in almost 40 
dB increase in field strength. 
 
In the pattern above, Blue is out-of-phase. Red is in-phase. This pattern demonstrates why the real 
advantage is filling of nulls. Note the blue trace is 2 to 3 dB down from the in-phase gain, so it 
primarily fills nulls.
