Abstract
An improved amplification of multiband signals for an uplink, in particular a satellite uplink is provided. For this purpose, multiple signals for separate frequency bands may be provided to a number of two or more uplink converters. The output of each uplink converter is amplified by a separate amplifier and the separately amplified signals are combined to obtain an amplified multiband uplink signal. In particular a waveguide combiner may be used for combining the amplified signals.
