Abstract
In this letter, we propose a dual linearly polarized unit cell with 1-bit phase resolution for transmitarray application in X-band. It consists of two-layer metallic patterns connected by a metallized via-hole. One layer of the metallic pattern is a rectangular patch with two p-i-n diodes loaded in O-slot along electric field polarization direction, which is utilized as a receiver-antenna to achieve 1-bit phase tuning. The other metallic pattern is a dual linearly polarized transmitter-antenna that adopts a square ring patch with two p-i-n diodes distributed at the cross-polarization directions. The simulation results show that the designed antenna can achieve 1-bit phase tuning and linearly polarization reconfiguration at 10.5 GHz with insertion loss of about 1.1 dB. The characteristic of the designed transmitarray element is then experimentally validated by an ad-hoc waveguide simulator. The measured results agree with the simulated ones.Keywords
