Abstract
This paper describes the Butler Matrix’s state of the art in switched beam smart antennas, as a result of the bibliographical revision of scientific articles, indexed journals, dissertations and books related to the subject. It describes the main advances and developments in its architecture, constituent components, successful implementations, problems and modern challenges from its invention, until the first decade of the 21st century. The document concludes with the awareness of the importance of the matrix, its validity and its relevance in the development of communications systems and radar.
