Abstract:
1. A method for reusing a first transmission frequency already in use for transmitting satellite signals from a satellite along a satellite signal route to a first location for reception with a satellite receiving antenna which is physically oriented at the first location with an aperture of the satellite receiving antenna encompassing the satellite signal route to the first location, the satellite signals having a signal power level at the first location to produce satellite input signals at least at a minimum usable satellite input signal level when received within the aperture of the satellite receiving antenna at the first user location, the method comprising the step of: (a) transmitting terrestrial signals at the first transmission frequency from a first terrestrial transmitter, the terrestrial signals being transmitted in directions including a wireless transmission route from the first terrestrial transmitter to the first location, the wireless transmission route lying at an angle from the satellite signal route such that the terrestrial signals present at the first location produce terrestrial input signals from the satellite receiving antenna that has been physically oriented to receive the satellite signals within the aperture of the satellite receiving antenna, the terrestrial input signals being at a power level less than an interference power level with respect to the satellite input signals, and the terrestrial signals present at the first location also having a power level at least at a minimum usable terrestrial signal level.
