Dynamic performance control using half duplex arrays

A method for using multiple half duplex (HDX) aperture arrays, the method comprising:

• providing a user terminal system that includes a first HDX aperture system and a second HDX aperture system;
• determining, by the user terminal system, a first timing for transmitting and receiving signals for the first HDX aperture system;
• determining, by the user terminal system, a second timing for transmitting and receiving signals for the second HDX aperture system;
• transmitting data to a satellite gateway system via the first HDX aperture system, the second HDX aperture system, or both, in accordance with the determined first and second timings;
• and
• receiving data from the satellite gateway system via the first HDX aperture system, the second HDX aperture system, or both, in accordance with the determined first timing and the determined second timing.
