Without having seen the article, I assume that the "noise" antenna is 
placed much closer to the local noise source than the "receiving" 
antenna.  The s/n ratio in the "noise" antenna will be poor, mostly 
noise.  This can be combined (subtracted) from the "receiving" antenna 
to cancel the local noise without canceling out very much of the desired 
signal.
