Applications of High Power Microwaves (Artech House Microwave Library)

Covers the important research into relativistic microwave electronics that has been done over the past two decades - advances which have greatly enhanced both the peak power and the average power capabilities of microwave oscillators and amplifiers, especially at millimetre wavelengths. Applications include local plasma heating and current drive in controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors; enhancing capabilities of advanced radar and communication systems; and atmospheric modifications including rebuilding the ozone layer.
