Abstract
An n-number of input ports, a plurality of output ports equal to Σ(k−1), and a plurality of switches selectively connecting the n input ports to the plurality of output ports. A combiner network comprising n−1 combiners is connected to the plurality of output ports and one input port is directly connected to an output port to provide n output ports of the combiner network. A second stage switching matrix comprising n input ports is connected to the n output ports of the combiner network for selectively connecting one of the n output ports of the combiner network to an output load.
