Full-wave electromagnetic solver based on the Transmis- sion Line Matrix Method has been deployed on Grid test-bed. This Grid-based electromagnetic approach exploits the availability of com- puting node at disposal through the Grid to face the demand of ar- bitrary large simulations by allocating a corresponding amount of re- sources hence minimizing the overall elapse time. In order to highlight the beneflts of using computing Grids in electromagnetic simulations, a parametric study of planar re∞ectarray antennas based on microstrip technology has been carried out. The e-ciency of distributed comput- ing when a very large number of computation units (nodes) are involved in the computation of large and non-uniform re∞ectarray antennas is reported.
