Claim:
1. A redundant amplifier, comprising: a first switch for performing switching of connecting, on a one-to-one basis, m inputs (P at least one first waveguide switch configured to connect an input of the m inputs to one of an amplifier and a second waveguide switch, and at least one second waveguide switch configured to connect an input of the m inputs to one of a selected first waveguide switch of the at least one first waveguide switches and a selected third waveguide switch of an at least one third waveguide switches, wherein the at least one third waveguide switches are configured to connect at least one of the at least one first waveguide switches and at least one of the at least one second waveguide switches to an output of the n outputs; a second switch for performing switching of connecting, on a one-to-one basis, m of n inputs (R n same amplifiers (A a divider for dividing an input signal into m signals, and inputting the m divided signals to inputs (P a combiner for outputting a signal obtained by combining m signals input from the outputs (S wherein signal paths (L wherein the connection state has at least two types in which the signal paths (L
