Abstract

The present invention provides a receiver for use in a SDAR system, the receiver including a receiving unit having satellite signal detection means for detecting a first transmit signal transmitted from a first communication satellite and a second transmit signal transmitted from a second communication satellite, the first transmit signal produced when the transmitter modulates a primary data stream with a secondary data stream on a first carrier wave associated with the first communication satellite and the second transmit signal produced when the transmitter modulates the primary and secondary data streams on a second carrier wave associated with the second communication satellite; and at least one demodulator coupled to the receiving unit and configured to demodulate the at least one of the first and the second transmit signals.
