Reflective array comprising a plurality of radiating elements which are arranged beside each other and which form a reflective surface which is capable of reflecting incident waves with a phase variation law selected to produce a specific coverage, of which: - the radiating elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are produced with planar technology; and - each radiating element of the reflective surface is selected from one or more predetermined consecutive assembly/assemblies of radiating elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), referred to as patterns, each pattern being capable of creating a progressive phase variation of at least 360° between a first element and a final element of the pattern, and each radiating element of the reflective surface is positioned on the reflective surface in such a manner that * the radiating element of the reflective surface is adjacent to at least one radiating element which corresponds to a preceding or following element in the predetermined order of at least one pattern, and * the reflective array comprises paths between adjacent radiating elements which each follow a pattern in its entirety and predetermined order; and * all the radiating elements of a pattern have an identical circumferential dimension; and * the first and the last elements of each pattern correspond to the same phase modulo 360° and are identical, and the remainder of the radiating elements of the pattern are all different from each other and from the first and last elements; - each pattern comprises radiating elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) having at least one metal patch (25, 26) and at least one radiating opening (24, 27) provided in the metal patch (25, 26); - the metal patch (25, 26) and the radiating opening (24, 27) of each radiating element of a pattern each have at least one dimensional parameter selected from a geometric dimension or an electrical length, which develops progressively, in a same increasing or decreasing direction, from one radiating element of the pattern to another consecutive radiating element, each pattern comprising, in the predetermined order, a succession of progressive increases, or progressive decreases, of a first dimensional parameter of the metal patch of several first consecutive radiating elements (1 to 4) to a radiating element in the centre of the pattern, characterised in that the radiating element in the centre of the pattern is followed by a succession of progressive increases or progressive decreases, respectively, of a second dimensional parameter of the radiating opening of several second consecutive radiating elements (6 to 8). - the radiating elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) are produced with planar technology;
