A satellite system is configured to receive and allow direct forwarding of traffic on a time slot by time slot basis without demodulation or decoding. The satellite system may be configured to receive waveforms and configured to separate a waveform of data from a waveform of control information. The satellite system may be configured to switch the waveform of data toward one or more terminals and configured to switch the waveform of control information toward a satellite control unit without demodulation or decoding of the waveforms. A method for satellite communication is also provided.

A method for waveform-enabled jammer excision (WEJE) may include performing a jammer measurement during a look-through window when no signal-of-interest (SOI) is present and obtaining a jammer signal. A SOI-plus-jammer measurement may be performed and a SOI-plus-Jammer signal may be obtained when both the jammer signal and the SOI are present. Optimal weights that maximize a SOI-to-jammer power ratio may be determined. SOI-plus-jammer signals from a number of antenna elements may be optimally weighted and combined to copy the SOI and null the jammer signal based on the determined optimal weights.
