Abstract
A technique relates to a lossless multiport device. The lossless multiport device includes a first port. A plurality of ports are operable to communicatively couple one at a time to the first port according to a pump drive.
Claims15
A lossless multiport device comprising:
- a first port;
- a plurality of ports operable to communicatively couple one at a time to the first port according to a pump drive;
- and
- three-wave mixers respectively coupled to the plurality of ports.
1 more element
A method of configuring a lossless multiport device, the method comprising:
- providing a first port;
- configuring a plurality of ports such that the plurality of ports are operable to communicatively couple one at a time to the first port according to a pump drive;
- and
- coupling three-wave mixers respectively to the plurality of ports.
1 more element
A method of operating a lossless multiport device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal by a first input/output port of ports;
- and
- outputting the signal by a second input/output port of the ports, a pump drive controlling communication of the signal between the first input/output port and the second input/output port, wherein three-wave mixers are respectively coupled to the ports.
