ABSTRACT:
A redundancy switching system particularly suitable for transponders of the type used in spacecraft. A plurality of elements such as amplifiers is selectively connectable to a similar plurality of terminals such as input or output ports by switches. For each amplifier there is provided one switch and the switches are interconnected to form a closed loop. The switches may have three or four-port configuration and may be double-pole or triple-pole transfer switches, wafer switches, waveguide transfer switches or the like. In another form of the invention each element is connected to one output port by a switch and additional redundant elements are cross-connected to each other by extra switches so that failed elements can be replaced by standby elements.
