Methods of Reducing Interference Including Calculation of Weights Based on Errors and Related Systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of reducing interference in a satellite communications system, the method comprising:
- providing an error of a received feeder link signal;
providing first and second feeder link signals;
calculating a weight based on the error;
applying the weight to the second feeder link signal to provide an error correction signal; and
combining the error correction signal with a component of the first feeder link signal to provide an interference reduced feeder link signal.

Abstract
Methods of reducing interference in a satellite communications system may include receiving a plurality of feeder link signals and time aligning the plurality of feeder link signals to provide time aligned feeder link signals. At least two of the time aligned feeder link signals may be combined to provide reduced interference of at least one of the feeder link signals. Related systems are also discussed.

11. A satellite communications system comprising:
a processor configured to process an error of a feeder link signal, to process first and second feeder link signals, to calculate a weight to be applied to the second feeder link signal based on the error, to apply the weight to the second feeder link signal to provide an error correction signal, and to combine the error correction signal with a component of the first feeder link signal to provide a first interference reduced signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
