1. A microwave phasing structure for electromagnetically emulating a desired reflective surface of selected geometry in order to achieve phase-coherency of an incident electromagnetic wave at a focal point, comprising:

  • a multi-layer support member;

    a reflective member supported by said support member, configured to reflect microwaves within a predetermined operating frequency band; and

    a phasing arrangement of electromagnetically-loading structures that are interspaced from each other and disposed at a distance from said reflective member by the support member so as to provide the emulation of the desired reflective surface of selected geometry, wherein each electromagnetically-loading structure comprises a plurality of elements, each of said elements being arranged in different planes, arranged on different layers of the multilayer support member and insulated one from the others by said support member.
