1. A method of transferring a plurality of satellite signals through an optical communication network, such method comprising:

  • selecting a frequency of a local oscillator signal within a guardband between a left polarization signal and a right polarization signal of a first satellite signal of the plurality of satellite signals;

    frequency shifting the first satellite signal upwards in frequency by the selected frequency;

    combining the frequency shifted satellite signal with a second satellite signal of the plurality of satellite signals;

    modulating a optical carrier with the combined signals; and

    transferring the modulated optical carrier to a receiver through an optical fiber; and

    decoding the first and second satellite signals within the receiver.
