“…In this context transmitarray antennas (TA) [4], [5] can provide high gains and good aperture efficiencies over large bandwidths, while avoiding blockage from the feed (as opposed to reflectarrays), and the losses in the feeding network (as opposed to antenna arrays). Moreover, they are flat and one can fabricate them at low cost by standard printed circuit technology.…”

This letter presents a transmitarray antenna (TA) in the 27.5-29.5 GHz frequency band. The proposed TA is optically transparent and offers the possibility of steering the beam in the H-plane from -30° to 30°. One can achieve these properties using a novel unit-cell, composed of meshed double-circle rings printed on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) substrates, a plastic material transparent to visible light. This unit-cell provides a phase-shift of 300° for an insertion loss lower than 1 dB at 28.5 GHz. In turn, the TA sources consist of 2×2-element arrays of aperture-coupled stacked patch antennas. The choice of a patch array over a horn array allows one to reduce the total profile and weight of the TA. We have fabricated and tested a transparent TA with a diameter of 9.9 wavelengths at 28.5 GHz, yielding a broadside gain of 25 dBi and -1 dB gain bandwidth of 1.8 GHz, off-axis 30° beam presents a peak gain of 21.5 dBi and -1 dB gain bandwidth of 1.4 GHz. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones all over the frequency band of interest.Index Terms-transmitarray antennas, millimeter waves, multi-beam antenna, aperture-coupled stacked patch array, transparent antennas.

With the introduction of various antennas in the field of antenna technology, most of the constraints related to the transmission and receiving of the signals at different intervals have been resolved. By the rapid growth in industry and consequently high demands in the communication arena, the conventional antennas are unable to respond to these extended requirements. However, those initial antennas were suitably used in the field of technology. In the recent decades, by introducing new antenna technologies such as metamaterial structures, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structures and microstrip antennas with various feeding networks could meet the demands of the current systems. As stated before, in the frequency ranges of below 30 GHz, antenna size and bandwidth are of the important issues, so that novel antennas can be created in low frequencies, which are able to achieve reliable radiation properties when combined with new multiband antennas. Generally, transmission lines are practical in low frequencies and short distances, while higher frequencies are mainly used due to bandwidth goals. This chapter is organized into three subsections related to the 5G wireless communication systems: antennas below 15 GHz or accordingly antennas with wavelength less than 1/20; antennas operating between 15 and 30 GHz; higher frequency antennas or millimeter-wave antennas, which are desired for above 40 GHz.

“…And, as the gain requirements gradually increase to more than 30 dBi, the multiplied feed network will have great losses, especially in the millimeter wave frequency bands (30‐300 GHz) which can achieve more capacity compared to the current wireless networks . The planar transmission array antenna composed of the metal resonance unit‐cells has received increasing research interest due to its advantages of light weight, ease of installation, and low cost . Although planar transmitarray antennas have many advantages over conventional array antennas and lens antennas, they are generally narrowband due to the resonant effects of metallic structures.…”

A wideband low-profile transmitarray antenna has been designed. Several prototypes of unit-cells with different transmission phase shift ranges are used to constitute the antenna. To achieve wideband performance, the transmission phase versus frequency curves of these unit-cell prototypes are required to be nearly parallel in the working frequency band. Also, two or more unitcell prototypes instead of a uniform prototype are used to avoid introducing air gaps and reduce the thickness of transmitarray, which is commonly used in transmitarray design. A wideband millimeter wave dualpolarized transmitarray with a thickness of only 0.12λ 0 is designed, fabricated, and measured. It is demonstrated that the antenna has a wide 1-dB gain bandwidth of 20.2% (31-38 GHz), a gain higher than 31.4 dBi, and a peak aperture efficiency of 41.3%. Good agreement between simulations and measurement is achieved. K E Y W O R D Slow-profile transmitarray, transmitarray antenna, wideband antenna
