A communications system having two terminals, each including two antennas, the communications system using spatial multiplexing. One antenna of a first terminal transmits a tracking tone along with a data signal. Two antennas in a second terminal receive the tracking tone. The signals from the two antennas are processed by a feed circuit. The feed circuit includes a variable delay circuit and a combiner that forms, at a first difference output, a linear combination, of a signal from the first antenna and a signal from the second antenna, in which the tracking tone is canceled. The variable delay circuit is actively adjusted to maintain this cancellation.
