Abstract:
Various embodiments are described herein for a radio frequency (RF) signal router. In one example embodiment, the RF router comprises a controller, an input stage, an intermediate stage and an output stage. The input stage includes RF input terminals, pre-processing circuit and input processors, where each RF input terminal receives an incoming RF signal, each pre-processing circuit processes the incoming RF signal based on its power level, and each input processor adjusts a power level of an input RF signal based on a first controller signal to generate a processed input RF signal. The intermediate stage comprises intermediate switch matrices coupled to a controller and input processors, and configured to route intermediate RF signals. The output stage comprises output processors coupled to the controller, where each output processor is configured to adjust a power level of an output RF signal based on a second controller signal and generate a processed output RF signal, and where the second controller signal corresponds to the first controller signal.
