  • Abstract
    An intuitive representation to understand the reflection phase of the reflectarray element was provided. By observing the incident, scattered and total electric field components of the unit cell reflectarray model, a better understanding of the reflection phase behavior was presented. Using the strategy, a 256-element reflectarray was successfully designed through simulations to act as a ground plane.
