Miniaturized Multilayer Folded Substrate Integrated Waveguide Butler Matrix

Abstract: Abstract-Recently, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology attracts more and more attention in the development of millimeterwave integrated beamforming network (BFN) depending on its inherent advantages. However, the SIW-based BFN usually has a large circuit size. To overcome this weakness, we propose a novel multi-folded SIW Butler matrix at the center frequency of 60 GHz. Two different full-wave simulation tools are employed to validate our design. This folded BFN offers a number of benefits, such as… Show more

“…In comparison to the conventional waveguide, it not only gives rise to limited bandwidth and high losses in terms of substrate dielectric loss but also contributes to additional metallization losses due to its reduced guided height. Hence, a ridge was introduced to SIW structure in order to enhance operating bandwidth [15][16][17].…”

“…Recently, filters using SIW and RSIW structures loaded with cavity configuration [18], double circular ring [7], triangular ridge [19], slot array antenna [20] and several miniaturized filters structures [12,16,21] have been reported by several authors. The conventional spurious band suppression is mainly designed for the application of single-band rejection [22] of narrow bandwidth.…”

“…This technology preserves all the advantages of rectangular waveguide and also make the system compact, light weight and less expensive. Recently some researchers have realized the Butler matrix array on PCB using SIW technology [12][13][14][15]. In [12,13] a single layer implementation has been reported.…”

“…Different research works have focused on SIW miniaturization; for example, multilayer SIW technique was applied on a Butler-matrix in [2] and [3] in order to reduce the area by stacking the components on each other. Furthermore, [4][5][6] presented a folded technique for SIW miniaturization, and a 50% of size reduction was demonstrated compared to the conventional SIW.…”
