            Abstract : 
The anisotropic microstrip reflectarray is considered in this paper. The printed element of this reflectarray has an arbitrary shape. Such reflectarray is a design which allows to create artificial electromagnetic surfaces. Impedance properties of an artificial EM surface are set by the developer.
