Short description Moving beyond the discussion of lower-power solid state microwave devices that dominates technical works in the field, Modern Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Power Electronics provides readers with a detailed description of the state of the art in electron-beam-driven sources of microwave and millimeter-wave radiation. It not only familiarizes them with the capabilities and limitations of MVED, but it also highlights the exciting scientific breakthroughs of the past decade that are dramatically increasing the compactness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of this entire class of devices.
