Abstract A concept of an 8 × 8 Butler matrix realized in a single-layer structure folded to create a cylindrical surface has been proposed. With the use of such a structure it is possible to eliminate crossovers and to reduce losses within a circuit by maintaining connecting lines as short as possible. The proposed concept has been experimentally verified by simulations and measurements of an 8 × 8 Butler matrix operating at 2.5 GHz.
