## Abstract The determination of the phase of the field scattered from microstrip patches is a key factor in the design of reflectβarray antennas. Although the problem has been treated in a number of theoretical articles, an experimental characterization of a such an important parameter has never b

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents the measured reflected phase-variation curves for microstrip-patch elements of variable size, which form the most essential part in the design of a reflectarray antenna. A waveguide simulator exploiting the concept of infinite array is successfully implemented in the characterization of reflected phase, which avoids the need for large arrays for the empirical design of an element. A set of seven microstrip-array samples, each consisting of three square elements of the same size designed at 10 GHz, is measured. A comparison of the simulations using the finite-element method and the measured results shows good agreement. The phase variation is in the range of Ο©167Β°to Οͺ178Β°for a patch-size variation of 5.5 to 13 mm.

## Abstract An equivalent unit cell waveguide approach (WGA) is described to study the behavior of a multilayer reflect array of variableβsize patches/dipoles. The approach considers normal incidence of a plane wave on an infinite periodic array of identical radiating elements and introduces an equ
