"Beginning with a brief survey of the history of warfare, D. V. Giri systematically examines various nonlethal weapons technologies, emphasizing those based on electromagnetics. His systematic review of high-power electromagnetic radiators is organized by frequency coverage, and level of sophistication of underlying technologies. He provides many examples of complete systems, going from wall-socket to radiated waves." "Giri's focus on electromagnetics makes this book essential reading for researchers working with high-power microwave and electromagnetic pulse technologies as well as antenna engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
