A method includes generating multiple copies of a signal that comprises a plurality of time division multiple access frames. The multiple copies of the signal includes a first copy and one or more other copies of the signal. Each of the one or more other copies of the signal having a respective fixed delay and a respective phase relative to the first copy of the signal. The method also includes transmitting the multiple copies of the signal using hopping carrier frequencies. The hopping carrier frequencies associated with a consecutive pair of the plurality of time division multiple access frames are separated by an odd multiple of a separation value representing a frequency separation between two adjacent carrier signals. The respective fixed delay is proportional to the separation value for each of the one or more other copies of the signal.
