Abstract :
The effect of coherence on high-power microwave (HPM) generation is investigated. The experimental data are presented for HPM generation in air. Coherence governs the energy content of the HPM system and demonstrates whether the system is viable or not. Coherence must be considered in the design of the resonant cavities used in HPM devices.
