Abstract

See full text

Provided are systems and methods for minimizing co-channel interference on-board a satellite. An up-link signal received by the satellite is post-compensated, where the up-link signal includes a desired signal transmitted by a first transmitter and an interfering signal transmitted by a second transmitter. The post-compensating includes identifying the interfering signal based on post-compensation parameters. In addition, a down-link signal to be transmitted from the satellite to a receiver is pre-compensated. The pre-compensation process includes determining gain relations between a gain of a first satellite antenna which transmits the down-link in a direction of the receiver and a gain of a second satellite antenna which transmits an interfering signal in the direction of the receiver, sampling and scaling interfering signals at the satellite based on the gain relations, and estimating a co-channel down-link interference component that the down-link signal is expected to experience on a path to the receiver.
