Abstract:
A transmission lines arrangement (1) comprising a first plurality of transmission lines (30) each transmission line having an effective characteristic impedance and comprising a second plurality of transmission lines (40), said first plurality of transmission lines (30) being coupled to a plurality of switching elements (50), the plurality of switching elements (50) being conceived to redirect an input signal from one transmission line of the first plurality of transmission lines (30) to at least one transmission line of the second plurality of transmission lines (40), characterized in thateach of the switching elements of the plurality of switching elements (50) have a relatively high input impedance in comparison with the effective characteristic impedance and a relatively high output impedance in comparison with the effective characteristic impedance, each transmission line of the first plurality of transmission lines (30) is further coupled to an impedance (60) that is substantially equal to the effective characteristic impedance of said transmission line.
