A dual-band quad-polarized transmitarray (TA) is designed in a common aperture operating at 25.9/39.8 GHz. Using narrow strip patches as cells, the 25.9 GHz cells are arranged in the ±45° direction, and the 39.8 GHz cells are arranged in the 0/90° direction in the formed square gap of the 25.9 GHz cells to realize a compact design with four polarization directions. In each band of 25.9/39.8 GHz, the proposed TA is dual-polarization designed. Measurements show that the expected beams can be achieved, and their 3 dB gain bandwidth covers almost all of the 5G bands n258 (24.25–27.5 GHz) and n260 (37–440 GHz). This TA has potential application value in 5G construction.
