A tiled dual-polarized transmitarray with 1-bit quantization

Abstract

Abstract An original approach of a transmitarray which consists of the tiled unit cells placed in a plastic holder is considered. Each unit cell represents a passive receiver-transmitter structure with integrated phase-shifter, which can take either of two coding states corresponding 180° phase difference between the states. The transmitarray design supports two orthogonal linear polarizations. An example of a 10x10 element 1-bit beam steering transmitarray operated in C-band is presented. The results of radiation pattern measurements with single and multifeed excitation are shown. The proposed structure represents a cost-efficient solution for scalable transmitarrays.
