A 5.8 GHz Band Smart Antenna Using 4x4 Butler Matrix

Article Preview

Abstract:

A smart antenna using 4x4 Butler matrix for 5.8 GHz band is designed. The antenna array has four inputs and is excited by the Butler matrix feeding network to electronically steer the beams in desired directions. The architecture of the Butler matrix beamforming network is designed without using cross couplers, in fact the array antenna will be surrounded by the hybrid couplers, and it leads to decrease losses due to the crossing lines. The designed prototype is simulated on Rogers RT /duroid 5880 substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2 using ADS momentum software.
