English term or phrase: omni suppression
Inside the side lobes of a ground station antenna, an aircraft receives continuously all interrogations from the ground station.
Since this area is normally controlled by an omni suppression technique, suppression pulses will also be received.

What does "omni suppression" mean?
I googled and found two hits including this one. A Canadian who was a pirot does not know this.

Thank you for your help.

agree  Tony M: That's my understanding: the ground antenna is figure-of-eight (bi-lobar), but the suppression antenna is omni.
