1. A method comprising:
receiving a signal from a first satellite at a first feed;
receiving a signal from a second satellite at a second feed;
producing a first signal having a first polarization and a second signal having a second orthogonal polarization from the signal from each feed;
phase shifting the signal from each of the two feeds;
offsetting the frequency of the phase-shifted signals from each of the two feeds; and
combining the phase-shifted, offset signal with the second signal from each feed, respectively to reduce interference from the second satellite on the signal from the first satellite.
