摘要
An antenna array system provides simultaneous 360° coverage and includes Butler matrix beam forming networks connected to an antenna array, which includes narrow and/or broadband elements, and multiple transmitters, receivers, or transceivers to allow for 360° transmission and/or reception. The antenna array system can provide multiple beams, such as without limitation 8 or 16 beams, which can vary in beam crossing and/or overlap to provide simultaneous 360° coverage. An antenna array system includes a plurality of antenna elements configured in an array, a first Butler matrix operatively coupled to the plurality of antenna elements, and a second Butler matrix operatively coupled to the first Butler matrix. A method of providing simultaneous 360° coverage includes configuring a plurality of antenna elements in an array, coupling a first Butler matrix operatively to the plurality of antenna elements, and coupling a second Butler matrix operatively to the first Butler matrix.
