1. A tunable projected artificial magnetic mirror (PAMM) comprises:

  • a plurality of artificial magnetic mirror (AMM) cells that collectively produce an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) comprising an electromagnetic reflective surface with an electromagnetic state in which a tangential magnetic field is zero and in a non-planar geometric shape located at a distance above a surface of the tunable PAMM for an electromagnetic signal in a given frequency range; and

    a control module operably coupled to the plurality of AMM cells, wherein the control module provides control information to one or more of the plurality of AMM cells to tune at least one of the geometric shape of the AMC and the distance of the AMC from the surface of the tunable PAMM.
