Zusatztext “… should be of lasting value … Students and professionals in high power microwave physics should benefit markedly from a study of this volume.” —Nuclear Fusion Informationen zum Autor R.A Cairns (University of St Andrews, Scotland) (Edited by) , A.D.R. Phelps (University of Strathclyde, Glascow, Scotland, UK) (Edited by) Klappentext Written at the graduate level, Generation and Application of High Power Microwaves discusses the basic physics of the generation of microwave and radiofrequency waves in the megawatt power range and the application of these ideas to a range of devices such as klystrons, gyrotrons, and free electron lasers. The book also contains chapters covering the transmission of the power through waveguides and the problems associated with mode conversion in transmission lines. The main application area covered is the heating and current drive in tokamaks and other devices for research into controlled nuclear fusion. Other applications of high power microwave technology are not neglected, and among those discussed are multiple charged ion and soft x-ray sources, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, advanced materials processing, millimeter wave radar, and supercolliders.
