A system and method for focusing an orthogonal function multiplexed beam receives an orthogonal function multiplexed signal from a data processing source. The orthogonal function multiplexed signal includes a plurality of data streams each having a unique orthogonal function applied thereto and multiplexed together within the orthogonal function multiplexed signal. The orthogonal function multiplexed signal passes through a pair of focusing lenses to focus the orthogonal function multiplexed signal on a predetermined focused point. A distance between the pair of focusing lenses is controlled to cause the orthogonal function multiplexed signal to focus at the predetermined focus point. The orthogonal function multiplexed signals are transmitted from a transmitter toward the focus point at a receiver aperture of a receiver as a transmission beam.
