Abstract

The current wireless communications are urgently needed to provide huge data rates, high gain and high directivity radiation pattern beams. Therefore, beamforming networks (BFNs) are introduced to provide these needs. Butler matrix (BM) is a type of beamforming network, which can be realized using fixed network circuits and feeds the antenna array. BM at millimetre waves suffers from components loss and phase errors with big size for massive network, especially when it is implemented using microstrip structures. Different transmission lines such as waveguide and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) are studied and introduced for realizing Butler matrix. SIW structures are good candidate for implementation of BM due to its property of low loss transmission line comprises the properties of microstrip and waveguide technology. However, SIW antennas and structures at millimetre wave have unwanted radiation losses comes from the vias holes. In addition, the vias separation distance is depended on waveguide size, which leads to a bigger size for massive beamforming network at 26 GHz. Hence, this work proposed a compact size and optimal SIW antenna beamforming structure to reduce the vias losses and provides higher bandwidth and gain at 26 GHz. The proposed designs will be simulated using CST software and fabricated by PCB LPKF ProtoMat printer. The outcomes of wide bandwidth more than 1 GHz and high directive gain well than 10 dB for the beamforming network are expected.
