This well-worn copy of “High-Power Microwave Sources and Technologies” offers a glimpse into the cutting-edge research and development of microwave technology in the late 20th century. Published in the era of the Cold War and the space race, this technical volume delves into the scientific principles and engineering challenges behind generating and harnessing high-power microwaves for various applications, from radar and communications to particle accelerators and directed energy weapons. While the condition reflects its age and use, the handwritten notes and highlights within could provide valuable insights into the thought processes of a former researcher or student grappling with this complex subject matter. For collectors and historians of science and technology, this book represents a tangible artifact of the ongoing quest to push the boundaries of microwave technology, which has played a pivotal role in modern warfare, telecommunications, and scientific exploration.
