Patent ID: 8064555

Claim:
A system comprising: an input channelizer covering an operating frequency band, the input channelizer comprising a first level input channelizer covering the operating frequency band, the first level input channelizer comprising a plurality of first level input channels, each of the first level input channels operating at a different frequency band within the operating frequency band, and at least a second level input channelizer covering the operating frequency band, the second level input channelizer comprising a plurality of second level input sub-channelizers equal to the number of the first level input channels, wherein each second level input sub-channelizer is connected to a first level input channel operating within the same frequency band, each of the second level input sub-channelizers comprising a plurality of second level input channels; an input of each of a plurality of amplifiers connected to each of the second level input channels; and an output channelizer covering the operating frequency band, the output channelizer comprising at least a second level output channelizer covering the operating frequency band, the second level output channelizer comprising a plurality of second level output sub-channelizers, each of the second level output sub-channelizers comprising a plurality of second level output channels, each of the second level output channels connected to an output of each of the plurality of amplifiers, and a first level output channelizer covering the operating frequency band, the first level output channelizer comprising a plurality of first level output channels, each of the first level output channels connected to a second level output sub-channelizer operating within the same frequency band.
