Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH04J 003/00Foreign Application Priority Data1989-01-24 DEAbstractInterconnecting network for simultaneous selective connecting of each of N inputs to one of N outputs has an input section which includes the inputs and contains at least the consecutive stages 1 to n-1 of a n-stage baseline network and has N outputs, and an output section which has N inputs which are connected to the N outputs of the input section, includes a n-stage baseline network and has N outputs which form the outputs of the interconnecting network. The order of the n-1 stages following the inputs is the same in both baseline networks.Other References
