(a) Horn structure
(with the electric field on the direction of the yaxis). The beam shaping for each polarization is
achieved by adjusting the phase of the transmitted
coefficient at each element independently for each
linear polarization. The required phase shift for
each polarization was realized by adjusting the slot
length that is either LV or LH. Figure 9 (a) shows the
distribution of the slot length LV for horizontal
polarization while Fig.9 (b) shows the distribution
of the slot length LH for the vertical polarization.
Figure 9 (c) shows the variation of the cross slot
lengths for vertical and horizontal polarizations
along the transmitarray elements.
