  • Abstract
    A tunable reflectarray phase-shifting cell, designed for a resonance frequency of 5.6 GHz, is presented. The cell is based on a simple slot topology and loaded by a ferroelectric thin film capacitor of 60% tunability under 400 kV/cm bias electric field. The cell provides 245 degrees of phase-shifting.
