Abstract
In beamforming with an antenna for satellite communications, the antenna includes an array of radiating elements. The beamforming method includes: formulating a matrix based on responses from all elements of the antenna to each of a number of users of a first satellite; augmenting the matrix by adding responses from the elements of the antenna to other users served by a different satellite; from the augmented matrix, generating a beamforming matrix; and with the beamforming matrix, beamforming a beam from the antenna.
