A high impedance (Hi-Z) wire effectively transparent to electromagnetic radiation polarized in the direction of the wire, within an operating frequency band. The Hi-Z wire is sheathed with a thin layer of resonant structures that are small compared to the wavelength, and behave as a kind of photonic band gap (PBG) material. A frequency-selective polarizer comprising a plurality of Hi-Z wires disposed parallel to one other in a grid. A wire grid reflector that enables stepwise phase control of the reflected wave and focusing of radiative power, the reflector comprising Hi-Z wires interspersed with conventional wires disposed parallel to one another in a grid.
