Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new kind of reflectarray cell with both amplitude and phase control abilities. A slot is added in the ground of an arbitrary conventional cell for this purpose. A slotted cell having a square patch is investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. This cell is used to reduce the side lobe level of a reflectarray antenna.
