Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a communication system, the communication system comprising at least two separate transmitting antennas located on Earth and at least two receive antennas located with a distance from Earth, the receive antennas having directional receiving patterns which cover a common region on Earth, the method comprising the following steps: —precoding the symbol sequences before transmission from the transmitting antennas to the receive antennas in order to reduce spatial interference between the symbol sequences, and —simultaneously transmitting symbol sequences from the transmitting antennas to the receive antennas by spatial and frequency multiplexing in a time and phase synchronized fashion, the symbol sequences being transmitted from different transmitting antennas being different from each other but being transmitted on the same frequency. In this way, a high bandwidth method for transmitting data from an Earth transmitting station to a receiving station which is located with a distance from Earth.
