1. A satellite system to generate a plurality of beamformed outputs from one or more input antenna signals, the satellite system comprising:

  • a plurality of channel breakout modules configured to receive respective unique input antenna signals that represent channels of a common radio frequency (RF) signal received from a remote source and to break each unique input antenna signal into a plurality of channel components;

    a switch module coupled to the plurality of channel breakout modules and configured to receive the plurality of channel components from the plurality of channel breakout modules and to match equivalent channel components from each of the unique input antenna signals; and

    a plurality of beam formation operation modules coupled to the switch module, wherein each beam formation operation module is configured to receive a set of equivalent channel components that have been matched by the switch module and to perform a beam formation operation on the set of equivalent channel components to generate a beamformed output for the set of equivalent channel components.
