Simultaneous transmit signals and receive signals (STAR) circuit and method includes: an error correction circuit for receiving a receive signal and a transmit signal for transmission; a first input port for receiving the transmit signal; a second input port for receiving a modification signal; and an adder to add the transmit signal to the modification signal to generate a modified modification signal, wherein the modified modification signal is input to the error correction circuit, wherein the modification signal modifies the transmit signal to have energy orthogonal to the receive signal, and wherein the transmit signal is transmitted simultaneously with receiving the receive signal.
