Patent ID: 8731101

Claim:
A system for amplifying signals generated by a unit for generating signals of a satellite, said system comprising: a first pathway comprising: a first bandpass digital filter with a finite impulse response for filtering digital signals generated by said unit outside of a useful band of the first bandpass digital filter, and a first digital/analog converter disposed at an output of said first bandpass digital filter; frequency transposition means for converting a signal in baseband or in an intermediate frequency to a signal in a carrier band; an amplifying device comprising a pre-amplifier and an amplifier; a second pathway comprising: a second bandpass digital filter with a finite impulse response for filtering digital signals generated by said unit outside of a useful band of the second bandpass digital filter, gain means disposed at an output of said second bandpass digital filter, a phase-slaved numerically-controlled oscillator disposed at an output of said gain means, and a second digital/analog converter disposed at an output of said phase-slaved numerically-controlled oscillator; and a recombiner device configured to sum output signals of said first and second pathways, wherein said frequency transposition means comprise: first frequency transposition sub-means disposed on the first pathway between an output of said first digital/analog converter and an input of said recombiner device; and second frequency transposition sub-means disposed on the second pathway between an output of said second digital/analog converter and an input of said recombiner device.
