We present computational studies on a proposed 400 elements electronically reconfigurable liquid crystal (LC) based binary phase reflectarray metasurface, operational at 108 GHz. LC was modelled using Merck's GT3-23001, and full wave simulations have shown a phase difference of 177 degrees between ON and OFF states, while reflection amplitudes were both 0.88 for ON and OFF. We present preliminary full wave simulation results on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimised far-fields. We also present the basic design procedures and cross-platform implementations on optimisation routines involving Matlab, CST and VBA environments
