The microfabrication technique based on SR (Synchrotron Radiation) direct etching process has recently been applied to construct PTFE microstructures. This paper attempts to fabricate an integrated PTFE-filled waveguide Butler matrix for short millimeter-wave by SR direct etching. First, a cruciform 3-dB directional coupler and an intersection circuit (0-dB coupler) are designed at 180 GHz. Then, a 4×4 Butler matrix with horn antennas is designed and fabricated. Finally, the measured radiation patterns of the Butler matrix are shown.
