Abstract
A satellite amplifier systemadapted to amplify and distribute flexibly P input transmission channels to N outputs each corresponding to one beam includes a switchhaving at least P inputs for routing the plurality P of transmission channels to a plurality of outputs, at least one Butler matrixeach input of which is connected to an output of the switch, and at least one inverse Butler matrix, each output of the Butler matrix being connected to a corresponding input of the inverse Butler matrix by an amplifier. The systemfurther includes a plurality of output demultiplexersfor separating a plurality of transmission channels by frequency, the input of each of the output demultiplexers being connected to an output of the inverse Butler matrix.
