An array of a plurality of amplifiers, where the plurality is a number other than 2N, where N is an integer, is paralleled by the use of an array of hybrids coupled to the input and output ports of the amplifiers. The paralleling is such that the input signals applied to any one of the input ports of the paralleled combination passes through the same number of the paralleled amplifiers as the input signals applied to any other input port. In particular examples having ten and twelve paralleled amplifiers, the signals applied to any input port are divided so as to pass through eight of the ten or twelve amplifiers. This improves the redundancy and the EIRP flexibility.
