Dual-series 2 x 4 switched-beam nolen matrix for fifth generation wireless communication system

A new evolvement towards 5G technology requires a super high frequency to provide large channel capacity, low power consumption and low interference. Up to the present, the passive microwave devices with the super high frequency range are becoming necessity to be deployed due to the great features t...
