DIGITAL SWITCHING MATRIX
The present invention provides the signals received from different antennas (100) in a certain frequency range with micro-miniature input connectors (101) on a printed circuit, amplified and filtered with the help of RF frontend, and then passed to digital domain (109) with analog-digital converter (107) and further then it performs the switching of the signal by transmitting the signal to the FPGA (110). The signal switched in the FPGA (110) is sent to the related digital-analog converter (107) to be routed to the related output port. The digital-analog converter (112), on the other hand, sends the signal analog to one of the micro-miniature output connectors (114) on the output, and performs the reception of the signal from that output port. In the application of the present invention, a structure with a frequency band of 4 MHz - 50 MHz (HF band) and 32 inputs and 32 outputs has been implemented specifically.
