This paper presents a switched beam-forming network (SBFN) integrated with a power divider for 5G applications. The proposed design consists of a metamaterial-based 4 x 4 butler matrix (BM) and 1x2 Wilkinson power (WPD) divider. The simulated results show that the proposed design achieved an outstanding insertion-loss of -9 +/- 1dB and excellent reflection coefficient between the frequency range of 3.2GHz - 3.7GHz. The simulated phase differences achieved between the output ports are -45 degrees +/- 8 degrees for the excitation of Input Port-1. The proposed design is suited for a 5G switched-beam antenna array (SAA) because of its enhanced bandwidth and compact structure of BM and WPD.
