AbstractIn this article, a compact butler matrix for wireless communications is designed and implemented at 2.4 GHz using defected ground structures (DGS).The butler matrix consists of a 3‐dB coupler, crossover (0‐dB coupler), and phase shifter. The 3‐dB coupler and crossover are compacted using T‐model of transmission line and DGS. The size of proposed butler matrix is about 35% of a conventional matrix. To verify simulation results, designed matrix has been implanted and measured. Fortunately, there is very good agreement between simulation results and measured results. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
