High Power Microwaves, 3/e（Hardcover）

Following in the footsteps of its popular predecessors, High Power Microwaves, Third Edition continues to provide a wide-angle, integrated view of the field of high power microwaves (HPMs). This third edition includes significant updates in every chapter as well as a new chapter on beamless systems that covers nonlinear transmission lines.

Written by an experimentalist, a theorist, and an applied theorist, respectively, the book offers complementary perspectives on different source types. The authors address:

• How HPM relates historically and technically to the conventional microwave field
• The possible applications for HPM and the key criteria that HPM devices have to meet in order to be applied
• How high power sources work, including their performance capabilities and limitations
• The broad fundamental issues to be addressed in the future for a wide variety of source types

The book is accessible to several audiences. Researchers currently in the field can widen their understanding of HPM. Present or potential users of microwaves will discover the advantages of the dramatically higher power levels that are being made available. Newcomers to the field can pursue further research. Decision makers in direct energy acquisition and related fields, such as radar, communications, and high energy physics, can see how developments in HPM will affect them.

《高功率微波，第三版》繼承了其受歡迎的前作，為高功率微波（HPM）領域提供了一個廣角、整合的視角。本書的第三版在每一章節都有重大更新，並新增了一章關於無束系統的內容，包括非線性傳輸線。

本書由一位實驗者、一位理論家和一位應用理論家共同撰寫，提供了不同源類型的互補觀點。作者們討論了以下問題：

- HPM在歷史上和技術上與傳統微波領域的關聯性
- HPM的可能應用以及HPM設備必須滿足的關鍵標準
- 高功率源的工作原理，包括其性能能力和限制
- 未來需要解決的廣泛基礎問題，涉及各種源類型

本書適合多個讀者群體。目前從事該領域研究的研究人員可以擴大對HPM的理解。微波的現有或潛在用戶將發現可獲得的功率水平大幅提高的優勢。新進入該領域的人可以進一步進行研究。直接能源獲取和相關領域（如雷達、通信和高能物理）的決策者可以了解HPM的發展對他們的影響。
