The 8401-8-6 from Weinschel by Spectrum Control is an 8 x 8 Butler Matrix that operates from 0.5-2.0 GHz and 2.0-6.0 GHz. The matrix has been designed to transfer signals reciprocally from any of the 8 input ports to any of the 8 output ports with a high phase accuracy and low amplitude imbalance. It is constructed using modular microstrip lines and provides an option to customize the frequency range. This butler matrix can handle an input power of 5 W (~37 dBm), has an insertion loss of 11 dB, and provides an isolation of 20 dB. It is available in a module that measures 122. X 152.4 mm and has SMA-type (female) connectors for RF input/output ports.
This 8401-8-6 is ideal for Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, 4G/5G LTE testing, link simulation, MIMO testing, multipath simulation and performance evaluation, interferometer system simulation and testing, and antenna array beamforming applications.
