Abstract
Results obtained from recent theoretical investigations of the interaction of intense electromagnetic pulses with gases when the field strength is above the threshold for avalanche breakdown are presented. It is shown how the breakdown affects the shapes of the pulses. In addition, the accuracy of the calculational models is discussed by comparing some calculations with experimental data. It is noted that this is not a comprehensive review of the field of microwave breakdown
