Abstract
A satellite switching network disposed to operate with relatively few redundant components. The high-frequency switching network with improved routing architecture (10) of the present invention is operative to convert input signals received over a plurality of receive channels into output signals to be carried by a plurality of transmit channels. An arrangement of receiver networks 104, 106, 108 and 110 converts the input signals to a plurality of intermediate frequency (I.F.) signals. The I.F. signals are routed to a set of synthesized downlink transmitter networks 186, 190, 192, 194 by a switch matrix 126. Each synthesized downlink transmitter generates signal energy over a set of downlink channels in response to the I.F. signals supplied thereto.
