Abstract:
This article presents a high-efficiency dual-polarized transmitarray antenna which achieves flat gain characteristics. First, a wideband triple-layer subwavelength element is designed, achieving high transmission amplitude and a full 360° transmission phase range at 10 GHz. To enhance the passband, an isolated element and a cross-shaped middle layer are incorporated. Additionally, four vias connect the top and bottom layers to induce the current resonance, extending the phase range to 360° and improving the radiation efficiency. Based on the element, a transmitarray prototype with 185 elements is fabricated and measured, showing a gain of 27.1 dBi at the center frequency 10.2 GHz, with a radiation efficiency of 58.9%, and a 0.5 dB gain bandwidth of 12.7%. Within the 1 dB gain bandwidth, a minimum radiation efficiency of 37% is achieved at 11.4 GHz.

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.
