High Power Microwaves

Following in the footsteps of its popular predecessors, this third edition continues to provide a wide-angle, integrated view of the field of high power microwaves (HPMs). This edition includes significant updates in every chapter as well as a new chapter on beamless systems that covers nonlinear transmission lines. It discusses the key criteria that must be fulfilled for emerging applications of HPMs, explains how high power sources work, and clarifies HPM capabilities and limitations on performance.
