Large dimensions and the lack of flexibility in terms of achievable output phase difference make conventional Butler structures of limited use for modern communication devices. In this work, a com-pact planar 4×4 matrix with non-standard relative phase shifts of –30,150, –120, and 60° has been proposed. The structure is designed to operate at the centre frequency of 2.45 GHz. Small dimensions of 31.3×22.9 mm make it useful for Internet of Things applications. The structure operates from 2.35 to 2.55 GHz, which covers the industrial, scientific and medical bandwidth. At the centre frequency, the measured amplitude and phase imbalance are 1.65 dB and±4.3°, respectively. The proposed circuit has been compared to the state-of-the-art structures from the literature.387-389eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessElectrical and Electronic EngineeringAntennasInternet of ThingsCircuitsNetworksRafvirkjunRafeindavirkjunLoftnetHlutanetHringrásNetkerfiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleElectronics Letters10.1049/ell2.12143
