For selectively routing downlink frequency channels to downlink beams of a communications satellite, the inherent routing functionality of a normal bandwidth multiport amplifier (MPA) is exploited in conjunction with the grouped channel filter characteristics of an output multiplexer (OMUX). In this arrangement the guard bands inherent in the OMUX mitigate the poor inter-port isolation inherent in the MPA so that two low performance elements in combination can be used to achieve an improved performance at system level.
