Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for satellite operations are described. A satellite communications system may include a transmitter that applies multiple spreading codes to a data signal to obtain multiple spread data signals. The transmitter may transmit the multiple spread data signals from multiple antenna elements in a composite signal. The satellite communications system may also include a receiver that receives the composite signal and applies multiple despreading codes to the composite signal to obtain multiple despread data signals. The receiver may combine the multiple despread data signals to obtain a combined data signal that corresponds to the data signal processed by the transmitter. To combine the multiple despread data signals, the receiver may estimate coefficients for each of the despread data signals.
