  • Abstract
    This paper describes the design and realization of a 4×4 Butler matrix as a beam forming network along with 4 linear antenna arrays to obtain four steerable beams, operating at 2.4 GHz. The simulation results are obtained using FEKO software. Further the concept of multibeam switching is discussed with an idea of suspended feed in between two matrices.
