An electrically small receiver system is provided. The receiver system includes a plurality of antennas and a signal processing circuit. The plurality of antennas includes a first antenna configured to receive a first signal and a second antenna configured to receive a second signal. The signal processing circuit includes a phase shifter configured to apply a phase shift to the received second signal. The phase shift applied by the phase shifter is a function of an angle of incidence of the second signal measured relative to a boresight direction of the plurality of antennas. The signal processing circuit is configured to form an output signal that is a combination of the received first signal and the phase shifted second signal.
