    A large electronically reconfigurable reflectarray antenna that has 160 × 160 reflecting elements was designed, fabricated, and evaluated so that it could be applied to a millimeter-wave imaging system operating in the 60-GHz band. To make it feasible to construct such a large reflectarray, the reflecting element structure had to be simple and easily controlled; therefore, a reflecting element consisting of a microstrip patch and a single-bit digital phase shifter using a p-i-n diode was employed. A large reflectarray antenna was fabricated using the reflecting elements. The measured radiation patterns and antenna gain were in good agreement with those that were calculated. Furthermore, the near-field beam focusing capabilities, which was required to image near-field objects, were also verified through an experiment. Finally, the response time for beamforming was measured, which was far less than the system requirements.
