The aperture efficiency of the reflectarray antenna is the ratio of the effective aperture to the physical aperture. The formula usually looks like:
ϵap=Ae/Ap
The aperture efficiency is a dimensionless number usually reported as a percentage and Ap is the physical aperture and Ae is the effective aperture (which is related to the antenna gain and operating wavelength)
Ae=G*lamda*lamda/(4*pi)
the calculated gain using cst at specific wavelength
