Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new approach for beam steering in reflectarray applications. The phase of the reradiated field is controlled by using an oscillator integrated with a varactor loaded patch. In the paper the main features of the proposed approach are presented and discussed analyzing the reflection phase of a single reflectarray element.
