The KBM9014265 is a 4×4 Butler matrix designed for beamforming in phased array antenna systems, operating from 1.4 to 26.5 GHz. It features SMA female connectors, a maximum phase imbalance of ±17 degrees, a maximum amplitude imbalance of ±1.6 dB, insertion loss below 13.5 dB, a maximum VSWR of 2:1 on any port, and minimum isolation of 10 dB. The unit measures 4.78 inches in length, 3.71 inches in width, and 1.11 inches in height.
The NEW KRYTAR 4×4 Butler Matrix uses KRYTAR’s high-performance 90- and 180-degree Hybrid Couplers providing super phase accuracy, amplitude imbalance, stability and repeatability. A Butler matrix is a beamforming network used to feed a phased array of antenna elements. Its purpose is to control the direction of a beam, or beams, of radio transmission.
KRYTAR’s Butler Matrix can be utilized as a beamforming network used to feed a phased array of antenna elements with the purpose to control the direction of a beam, or beams, of radio transmission. The advantage over other methods of angular beamforming is the simplicity of use in a variety of applications. KRYTAR’s 4×4 Butler Matrix, Model KBM9014265, is the ideal choice for antenna array beamforming, 5G NR (New Radio), Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, mmWave, MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) radio links, multipath simulation and performance evaluation, and many other upcoming applications.
KRYTAR’s technological advances provide excellent operating performance of this new 4×4 Butler Matrix. Covering the frequency range from 1.4 to 26.5 GHz this Butler Matrix provides ±1.6 dB of maximum Amplitude Imbalance and maximum Phase Imbalance of ±17 degrees.
