This paper presents the planar implementation of a two dimensional (2-D) beam steering array antenna with a cascaded 2 × 2 Butler Matrix (BM) as the beamformer. A single layer has been chosen to ensure low cost and ease fabrication. The four input ports of the proposed antenna have the capability of...
