A method of manufacturing a cellular reflectarray antenna arranged in an m by n matrix of radiating elements for communication with a satellite includes steps of determining a delay &phgr;m,n for each of said m by n matrix of elements of said cellular reflectarray antenna using sub-steps of: determining the longitude and latitude of operation, determining elevation and azimuth angles of the reflectarray with respect to the satellite and converting theta0 (&thetas;0) and phi0 (&phgr;0), determining &Dgr;&bgr;m,n, the pointing vector correction, for a given inter-element spacing and wavelength, determining &Dgr;&phgr;m,n, the spherical wave front correction factor, for a given radius from the central element and/or from measured data from the feed horn; and, determining a delay &phgr;m,n for each of said m by n matrix of elements as a function of &Dgr;&bgr;m,n and &Dgr;&phgr;m,n.
