A transmitter module is provided that includes a discrete-coefficients phase-combiner and an analog-coefficients phase combiner sandwiched on either side of a middle section having at least a bank of up-converters and a bank of amplifiers. Despite a transmission scenario changing, e.g., by the addition of another carrier frequency, it is not necessary to replace the transmitter module with new equipment. Rather, the transmitter module can be retained and reused in combination with an additional transmitter module whose software aspects (discrete-coefficients phase-combiner) can be tuned so that the transfer function of the additional transmitter module matches the transfer function of the retained transmitter module.
