Patent ID: 7924223

Claim:
A transmission system for transmitting signals to geo-satellites, the transmission system comprising: a plurality of directional transmitter elements for aiming in the general direction of a target satellite; a controller module communicatively connected with the directional transmitter elements, the controller module including an optimization module configured to transmit a satellite signal to the geo-satellites through the transmitter elements, and based on signal parameters of a received satellite signal, estimated transmitted radiation patterns, and on user input criteria, causing an adjustment of the signal parameters to meet the user input criteria, resulting in improved transmission to the target satellite; wherein the user input criteria is set to form a radiation pattern from a reflector-element array comprising a plurality of reflectors (multiple reflector array), with a high gain beam peak toward the target satellite direction, and nulls toward extraneous satellite directions, and wherein the user input criteria comprises: a user inputting the high gain beam peak at an angle A aimed at the target satellite, wherein with respect to the transmission system the target satellite is positioned at an orientation corresponding to the angle A; the user inputting a first null gain at an angle B; and the user inputting a second null gain at an angle C, wherein the angles A, B, and C are different from one another, whereby, with respect to the transmission system, a first extraneous satellite is positioned at an orientation corresponding to the angle B and a second extraneous satellite is positioned at an orientation corresponding to the angle C, without the extraneous satellites receiving interference from the satellite signal transmitted from the transmission system to the target satellite.
