Dual-band transmitarray antennas are demonstrated at Ka-band with the capability of forming independent linearly polarized beams with a given polarization in each frequency band, while sharing the same radiating aperture. The proposed three-layer unit-cell is based on identical narrow microstrip patches printed on both receiving and transmitting layers and connected by a metallized via hole. The metal layers are printed on two identical substrates bonded with a thin film, and the designed unit-cell exhibits a 180° phase resolution (i.e., 1-b phase quantization). The dual-band dual-polarized property of the transmitarray is achieved by interleaving unit-cells operating in the down-link and up-link frequency bands. Four different prototypes are characterized to demonstrate the relevance of the proposed concepts. A good agreement is obtained between the radiation patterns, gain curves, and cross-polarization levels measured and computed in both frequency bands and polarizations.
