  • Abstract
    A millimeter wave (mm-wave) beam-forming network based on the Butler matrix is designed alongside with its planar antenna array. The designed system has 1 GHz of BW centered at 28.5 GHz. A planar 4×4 slot based antenna array is connected to the Butler matrix via optimized series feeds. The beams radiated from the antenna array were steered to four different locations; ±20° and ±45°. The maximum gain achieved was 12 dB and the minimum was 8 dB. The complete system had a size of 43 × 35 × 0.13 mm3. This system can be used in handheld devices for the up-coming 5G standards.
