Hello all

looking for a device to add two signals x(t) and y(t)
x(t) - is a signal having a bandwidth of upto 5GHz
y(t) - more or less noise with uniform ditribution

Would appreciate some pointers/links in this direction.

Regards

g(t) = x(t) + y(t)


That oughta do it.

If that's not an adequate answer for you, consider improving the question.

That's two devices. He must be looking for a splitter/combiner,
assuming the signals are electrical and the center frequency is low enough.

Hard to say.

"Add" is almost too general a term to deal with because of superposition
in linear systems. Really need more requirements / characterization
like the signals come from a voltage source, from a current source, from
some finite impedance sources, etc.

R is a device in some sense and multiple R's just use that same device
over again.... so, in that sense "a" device.
