Abstract
A communications system is disclosed for spectrum sharing of a microwave point-to-point system and a PCS system. The invention comprises a microwave communications system. This system includes a transmitter for transmitting a first signal and a second signal. The first signal and the second signal are oppositely circularly polarized electromagnetic waves within a predefined frequency range. The system also includes a receiver for receiving the first and second signals. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the receiver may further include a first microwave receiver for receiving the first signal. It would then include a second receiver for receiving the second signal. The receiver would also include signal combining circuitry for combining the first signal and the second signal to generate a composite signal. It would then include a signal comparator to generate a comparison signal by comparing the average value of the amplitude of the composite signal with a predetermined value. Finally, the system would include a control circuit responsive to the comparison signal for modifying the operation of the transmitter.
