Abstract: A multiport distribution network is provided that supports N inputs and N outputs, where N>1, the multipart distribution network providing an independent distribution path extending from each input to each output, each path being formed from a sequence of at least two fundamental units. Each fundamental unit comprises a circuit formed of multiple resonator cavities and having n input ports for receiving respective input signals, and n output ports for outputting respective output signals, where n>1, and wherein the circuit is configured to: (i) at each input port, split an input signal received at that input port into n equal signal components and provide each of the n signal components to a respective output port of the circuit; and (ii) at each output port, combine the signal components received from the n input ports to form an output signal for that output port. The multipart distribution network is configured to apply the same filter transfer function along each independent distribution path.

Abstract: A microwave branching switch for selectively interconnecting terminals of a plurality of microwave transmission lines, involving microwave transmission lines with a terminal; a housing in which the terminals are arranged; a switching portion with a junction portion for selectively interconnecting terminals of the microwave transmission lines through selective interconnection. The switching portion is switchable between a first position and a second position; wherein the switching portion with the junction portion is dimensioned and positioned inside the housing in dependence of an arrangement of the microwave transmission lines such that the junction portion interconnects a first group of terminals when the switching portion is in the first position and interconnects a second group of terminals when the switching portion is in the second position. The first and second groups of terminals differ in at least one terminal and the first group of terminals involves at least three terminals.
