Abstract:
A radar apparatus comprises a substrate having first and second sides, an antenna including radiative elements disposed on the first side of the substrate, a Butler matrix supported by the substrate having input and output ports, where each output port of the Butler matrix is electrically connected to a group of radiative elements, and input connections between a radio-frequency (RF) circuit and the input ports of the Butler matrix. The RF circuit may be supported by the second side of the substrate.
