Actually, I'm not sure the idea was ever presented formally. I see where I got it, though, from mixing two pieces of one section of an interview with Hawass. Here are the pieces:
Quote
Dr. Hawass: In my opinion the subsidiary pyramids in the south of the pyramid has two functions. One is as a Queen's Pyramid. If you find evidence inside this pyramid it means burial for a Queen. But this pyramid located on the southeast corner of the main pyramid, which we call the satellite pyramid, the function of this pyramid is, in my opinion, it is like a ceremonial way that the ancient Egyptian king used it for changing clothes. He'd go inside this pyramid symbolically, and he leaves his gowns and he leaves his robe and he'll wear his skirt and he'll go out of the pyramid to the court on front of the pyramid and he'd play the Sed Festival to show that he'd finished all the requirements that the tradition of Egypt asked him to do.
...
Guardian: So the pyramid that you recently discovered between the Queen's pyramids and the Great Pyramid, that would be the satellite pyramid you believe that would be the satellite pyramid of the Great Pyramid?
Dr. Hawass: That is a T-shaped satellite pyramid. There are two types in the Old Kingdom. One shape is a T-letter shape, the burial chamber and the entrance. The other style is where the satellite pyramid is the exact shape of the main pyramid, but smaller. It's a model of the main pyramid in the interior, like the trial passage to the east of the Great Pyramid is a model for the Great Pyramid and therefore the satellite Pyramid of Khufu that I found is a satellite pyramid or a ritual pyramid as we call it sometimes, or a cult pyramid. These are the three names that we have for this type of pyramid.

I jammed them together in my memory. I love the symbolism of this part of the ritual, actually. Then again, it strikes at my favorite part of the Egyptian culture.
