A broadband transmitarray using double square ring elements

Dual-resonant double square ring elements are applied to the design of a four-layer transmitarray operating at 30 GHz. The design procedure is described and results of a 7.5% −1 dB gain bandwidth and 47% radiation efficiency are reported.
