Abstract :
A simple and fast technique is proposed and validated to analyze reconfigurable reflectarrays. This technique takes into account mutual coupling effects between active cells within the array. Its novelty relies on the ease of use, the accuracy and the promptness for analyzing reconfigurable reflectarrays.
