Abstract:
A dual-band dual-circularly polarized transmitarray antenna (TA) operating in the 28/39 GHz millimeter-wave band is proposed in this article. The TA unit consists of two parts: a broadband linearly polarized (LP) receiving part and a dual-band dual-circularly polarized transmitting part. An over-2-bit phase compensation is achieved by changing the size of the U-shaped slot and the rotation status of the receiving part. A 24 × 24 TA model with an aperture size of 88.8 mm × 88.8 mm is built up by using the proposed units and fed by a wide-band corrugated horn antenna. The simulated results show that the maximum gain of the dual-band dual-circularly polarized TA is 26.28 dBic within the low-band (26.5-29.5 GHz) and 27.4 dBic within the high-band (37-40 GHz). To verify the accuracy of the simulation, a prototype of the proposed TA is fabricated and measured. The measured maximum efficiencies are 53.56% and 42.89% in low and high bands, respectively. The proposed TA covers two bands (28/39 GHz) for fifth generation (5G) millimeter-wave applications. Moreover, it features low cost, high gain, and high efficiency.

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.
