5.1 Distribution module

The RF-Distribution module divides the input signals in 'n' output signals ('n' depends on the size of the matrix e.g. 8x8). Integrated MIMIC amplifier compensate the distribution losses of each sub module. Each distributor module includes of a set of Wilkinson Divider in Coplanar design. This design is very reliable with the following features:

• High port to port isolation
• Amplitude Flatness over the whole L-Band frequency range To achieve high port to port isolation and support also a matrix which is only equipped with a subset of modules each distributor output port is routed via a termination switch which provides a good return loss also in case where no other cards are connected.
