Miniaturization Design for 8 × 8 Butler Matrix Based on Back-to-Back Bilayer Microstrip

A low-cost, compact 8 × 8 Butler matrix based on a novel bilayer microstrip configuration is presented and implemented for 4.3 GHz telecommunication application. A back-to-back placed bilayer microstrip structure has been proposed to avoid using crossover. To expand operational bandwidth of the Butl...
