In this work, a novel circuit topology is introduced for the implementation of multiplexers and demultiplexers, called “active distributed (de)multiplexers.” The desired characteristics of active distributed (de)multiplexers as being wideband, planar and active are realized by the proposed microwave circuit. A numerical methodology is presented for its design. An active distributed detriplexer is designed, simulated, fabricated, and measured by the proposed numerical procedure. Computer simulation and measurement results show the effectiveness and suitability of the proposed topology as a detriplexer. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
