8401 Series 8x8 Configuration
Ideal for MIMO Test Setups
Weinschel brand Butler Matrices are beamforming networks used in wireless test applications (Cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth). They transfer the signal reciprocally from any of n-input ports to any of n-output ports, with high phase accuracy, amplitude balance, low insertion loss, and high port-to-port isolation. They are designed to deliver maximum power with progressive phase shift to the output in the transmitting mode and collect signals from all beam directions with the full gain of antenna array in the receiving mode.
The Butler Matrix family includes multiple models which can be used in a variety of configurations, across cellular, WiFi, and any band within its frequency limits.
