Satellite amplifier system
First Claim
1. A satellite system adapted to amplify and distribute P input transmission channels flexibly to N outputs each corresponding to one beam, said system comprising:
- a switch having at least P inputs for routing said P transmission channels to a plurality of outputs, at least one Butler matrix each input of which is connected to an output of said switch, at least one inverse Butler, each output of said Butler matrix being connected to a corresponding input of said inverse Butler matrix by an amplifier, said system being characterized in that it comprises a plurality of output demultiplexers for separating a plurality of transmission channels by frequency, the input of each of said output demultiplexers being connected to an output of said inverse Butler matrix.

Abstract
A satellite amplifier system 100 adapted to amplify and distribute flexibly P input transmission channels to N outputs each corresponding to one beam includes a switch 102 having at least P inputs for routing the plurality P of transmission channels to a plurality of outputs, at least one Butler matrix 103 each input of which is connected to an output of the switch, and at least one inverse Butler matrix 104, each output of the Butler matrix being connected to a corresponding input of the inverse Butler matrix by an amplifier 105. The system 100 further includes a plurality of output demultiplexers 109 for 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.
