This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 28 January 2010, surveys pulsed high-power microwave (HPM) source technology. It was produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program. It covers insulation, cathode materials, high-voltage switching, pulse generators, microwave sources such as magnetrons, gyrotrons and the Phoenix and Jolt sources, and antennas. The document concludes that progress depends on advances in cathodes, switching and insulation. It says compact ultrawideband antennas will remain difficult to build.
