A tuneable impedance surface for steering and/or focusing a radio frequency beam. The tunable surface comprises a ground plane; a plurality of elements disposed a distance from the ground plane, the distance being less than a wavelength of the radio frequency beam; and a capacitor arrangement for controllably varying the capacitance of at least selected ones of adjacent elements. A method of tuning the high impedance surface allows the surface to mimic, for example, a parabolic reflector or a diffraction grating.
