Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This work presents an optimal design of a 4x4 Butler Matrix (BM), which serves as key component in an antenna system designed for 5G applications operating at 60 GHz. The design is developed using the Advanced Design System (ADS) software provided by Keysight Technologies. The proposed design is implemented on Rogers (RO3003), characterized by loss tangent and dielectric constant of 0.001 and 3, respectively. The Butler 4x4 matrix configuration uses 4 input ports, which allows 4 homogeneous orthogonal beams to be generated at specific angles. The design aims to enhance the beamforming capabilities and overall performance of a smart antenna system, contributing to the advancement of 5G wireless communication technologies.
