There is a significant amount of information in the open literature on this.

A lot of hints can also be gleaned by looking at applications notes and 
spec sheets from companies like Watkins-Johnson, who made 
interferometric DF systems for sigint applications

The radio astronomers also do a lot with beamforming multiple antennas 
using correlators.

A total power radiometer (aka crystal video) is going to have a tough 
time in this sort of environment, unless you use very long averaging 
intervals and do some strong signal excision
