Abstract
An array of microstrip patches loaded with slots is used to realise a passive reflectarray antenna in Ku band. The progressive phase distribution on the reflector surface is achieved by controlling both the length of the patch and of the slot aperture. A 437-element array prototype has been measured showing good results over a 4% bandwidth.
