Non-resonant　partially　reflective　surface　(PRS)　antennas　(PRSAs)　offer　high-gain　performance,　but　their　design　typically　requires　extensive　electromagnetic　simulations　to　obtain　near-field　phase　distributions,　leading　to　time-consuming　processes,　especially　for　complex　or　large　antennas.　This　letter　presents　a　novel　analytical　design　method　that　significantly　simplifies　the　design　of　phase-correcting　surfaces　(PCSs)　for　nonresonant　PRSAs.　By　introducing　a　new　design　strategy　based　on　a　ray-tracing　approach,　we　derive　a　set　of　analytical　formulas　for　two　PCS　configurations:　one　utilizing　a　single　superstrate　that　integrates　both　PRS　and　PCS　functionalities,　and　another　employing　distinct　PRS　and　PCS　layers.　Using　these　formulas,　we　designed　two　non-resonant　PRSAs,　and　both　simulated　and　experimental　results　demonstrate　comparable　gain　performance　to　those　obtained　using　Ansys　HFSS.　This　approach　reduces　the　dependence　on　computationally　intensive　simulations,　offering　a　more　efficient　pathway　for　the　design　of　high-performance　nonresonant　PRSAs,　thereby　advancing　the　accessibility　and　practicality　of　antenna　design　methodologies.　　©　2002-2011　IEEE.
