Analyze Nolen Matrix for the 2-D Beamforming Application

The Nolen matrix is a novel antenna feeding network composed of only couplers with dedicated coupling ratios and phase shifters. In this example a 2D beamforming array using planar Nolen matrix [1] designed at 2 GHz, is imported and analyzed. The proposed 3 ×3 Nolen matrix is saved in the gerber file and analyzed at 2 GHz with FR4 substrate. All simulation results are matched with the design theory[1] and the measured result.
