Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) configurations utilizing the 2×1 Alamouti code provide a robust method to mitigate polarization-dependent loss and deep atmospheric fading in coherent ground-to-GEO links. By employing spatial diversity through dual-transmit telescopes, this system relaxes constraints on large-aperture adaptive optics and high-power amplifiers. The implementation of this scheme enables stable, high-bandwidth communication for next-generation satellite feeder networks.
