It would have to be unblocking it, and not entirely regularly: > Follow-on observations showed that the object repeated pretty regularly, with a periodicity of about 1,320 seconds (more commonly known as 22 minutes). There's a window of about 400 seconds centered on that periodicity, and a burst can appear anywhere within the window and will last anywhere from 30 to 300 seconds.

  Ok. Then we have like "a sort of brownian movement" here, it seems... like a regular event being slightly modified later by a non regular event happening in the same interval of time. Lets assume that the probability of a random event happening is 100% when we have a time interval wide enough, and that this interval is lower than 22 minutes. Too quick for most big space acts so it must be a minor event. Lets assume also that random event needs to "reset" somehow, before to be able to repeat again, so we have some time where the emission of radio waves, the main event is always blocked. Something like a sun eruption, or so... Could be those magnetic waves be behind a second object that acts like a plasma? (Like just touching a sun crown very far away from the source, and being cancelled at intervals by the effect of plasma frequency and wave frequency interacting?.

    Like a spinning Dyson field or toroidal plasma chamber?

      I'm not familiar with those concepts, probably not like the first, but can you explain the second one further?

The pulses are rather short compared to the period of the orbit, between 30 and 300 seconds according to the article. So if your hypothesis is correct the objects orbiting must be distributed to cover more than 3/4 of the orbit.
