Transparent microwave crossover for transparent Butler matrix using micro-metal mesh conductive film

This paper presents the design of a novel transparent microwave crossover (MC) for a transparent Butler matrix (BM) using a proprietary self-assembling nano-particle technology based Micro-metal Mesh (MM) conductive film. The transparent MM conductive film has a sheet resistance of 0.7 ohms/sq and a...
