ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing distributed amplification of a plurality of input signals is disclosed. The preferred embodiment of the disclosed invention utilizes two substantially different matrixes to dissect an input signal for amplification and subsequent recombination. The unique matrixes disclosed provide for the distributed amplification of any even number of input signals, therefore reducing the number of linear power amplifiers required where a number of input signals other than a power of two are used.
