High Power Microwave Systems And Effects (Electromagnetics Library)

In recent years, significant advances have occurred in the development of high-power microwave (HPM) sources for a variety of applications, including particle accelerators, wireless power transmission, controlled fusion reactions, plasma heating for magnetic-confinement fusion, and high-power radars.
This text deals with HPM's from their generation to their inadvertent reception, providing readers with up-to-date knowledge and probable future developments. Information supplied includes the current output levels of HPM sources, required system considerations in developing maximum fields and fluence, and resulting biological, electrical, and electronic effects from microwave illumination.
Primarily intended for system designers and program managers involved developing HPM weapons or in providing protection of systems against HPM threats, this valuable resource also includes advanced discussions on radiation of HPM, system interaction analysis, and hardening design protection from HPM.
