Massive MIMO is expected to realize a large capacity for wireless communication technology. To reduce the number of devices of the massive MIMO, utilizing a two-dimensional Butler matrix for the feed circuit has been investigated, but complexing its design. We have proposed a Massive MIMO configuration using a stacked Butler matrix and a staircase array antenna to reduce the circuit design cost. This letter proposes a V-shape staircase array antenna with a stacked Butler matrix to reduce antenna profile. Computer simulation clarifies the beam steering range for the proposed antenna.
