  • Abstract
    In this paper, a design of a conformal 4×4 Butler matrix operating at 2.4 GHz is presented. The matrix is based on the microstrip technology. Conventional components of the Butler matrix like hybrid couplers and crossovers are used and tested. The network has good performances at 2.4 GHz and can be easily applied in conformal multibeam antenna arrays.
