摘要：

Reconfigurable reflectarrays have been designed with patch elements which can vary the reflected phase by varying the height of the patches. These patches have been designed using a periodic method of moments simulation. Reflectarrays incorporating elements of varying heights have been built and tested. The first design is a 33 element array comprised of stacked patches which operates at 7.31 GHz. The second design is a 120-element dipole array over a ground plane which operates at 5.2 GHz. Microelectrical, mechanical systems actuation technology could be used to implement these designs and a potential concept is suggested.
