A system has a stratospheric platform with a payload controller and a phased
array
antenna having a plurality of elements. A gateway station communicates with the
stratospheric platform. The gateway station scales the plurality of elements to
form a reconfigurable plurality of beams. The gateway station communicates a control
signal to the stratospheric platform to communicate a scaling of the elements.
The stratospheric platform configures the elements of the phased array antenna
according to the scaling using adaptive interference rejection. The gateway station
has an adaptive beam processor coupled to user position files. The adaptive beam
processor with the user position data can adaptively cancel interference from other beams.
