Summary:A satellite comprises an antenna system configured to provide a plurality of spot beams including one or more small spot beams illuminating a first region of a coverage area, one or more large spot beams illuminating a second region of the coverage area separate from the first region and one or more intermediate sized spot beams illuminating a transition region of the coverage area that is located between the first region and the second region so that the one or more small spot beams are separated from the one or more large spot beams by the one or more intermediate sized spot beams. The one or more intermediate sized spot beams serve to mitigate C/I for the one or more spot beams.
