5.1 Introduction

The rapid development of high power microwaves (HPMs) during the 1980s was due to the availability of a technology base that had been developed for other applications. Figure 5.1 shows the subsystems of an HPM device operating in an HPM facility. Pulsed electrical systems, referred to as pulsed power, were developed in the 1960s to enable nuclear weapons effects simulation and hydrodynamics testing.1 Today, ongoing research and development is dedicated to producing ...
