Popis: This paper presents a comparative study of two linearly-polarized transmit-arrays in terms of design complexity and radiation performance. These transmit-arrays have fairly a simple novel structure with only three metallic layers and exhibits compelling features for V-band applications. The first transmit-array is based on the PVP elements (Patch-Via hole-Patch) while the second is based on the SRS elements (Slot-Resonator-Slot). The main objective of this study is to select the best candidate cell for an active version required for reconfigurable transmit-arrays. These proposed unit cells have been designed and optimized using the finite element method simulation. The PVP/SRS unit cell's impedance matching show a reflection loss below −10 dB at (59.5–61.9)/(57.3–61) GHz and an insertion loss of 0.37/0.44 dB at 60 GHz, respectively. The two proposed transmit-arrays achieve a directivity of 25.2 dBi, gain values of 22.8/22.2 dBi, power efficiency more than 56.6/50.6 % and a 3-dB gain bandwidth of up to 11.3/8.7 %, respectively. The cross-polarization levels are very low.
