Abstract :
We have presented a reflectarray with arbitrary shape elements suppressing the mutual coupling. The mutual coupling between the adjacent elements can be made small by introducing the element without conductor at the outer fence part of the unit cell and also investigating the phase characteristics for infinite array which is alternatively arranged by adjacent elements. Finally, the usefulness of the designed reflectarray has been verified numerically and experimentally.
