microwave beam
1Beam-powered propulsion — is a class of spacecraft propulsion mechanisms that use energy beamed to the spacecraft from a remote power plant. Most designs are rocket engines where the energy is provided by the beam, and is used to superheat propellant that then provides… …
2Microwave power transmission — (MPT) is the use of microwaves to transmit power through outer space or the atmosphere without the need for wires. It is a sub type of the more general wireless energy transfer methods, and is the most interesting because microwave devices offer… …
3Microwave transmission — The atmospheric attenuation of microwaves in dry air with a precipitable water vapor level of 0.001 mm. The downward spikes in the graph correspond to frequencies at which microwaves are absorbed more strongly, such as by oxygen molecules… …
4Microwave burn — This article is about injury from direct microwave exposure. For other microwave oven related injuries, see Hazard section of Microwave oven. Microwave burns are burn injuries caused by thermal effects of microwave radiation absorbed in a living… …
5microwave weapon — /ˌmaɪkrəweɪv ˈwɛpən/ (say .muykruhwayv wepuhn) noun a weapon which directs non lethal microwaves at an enemy, dangerous crowd, etc., creating a disabling burning sensation. Also, microwave beam weapon …
6Microwave engineering — pertains to the study and design of microwave circuits, components, and systems. Fundamental principles are applied to analysis, design and measurement techniques in this field. The short wavelengths involved distinguish this discipline from… …
7Microwave — This article is about the electromagnetic wave. For the cooking appliance, see Microwave oven. For other uses, see Microwaves (disambiguation). A microwave telecommunications tower on Wrights Hill in Wellington, New Zealand Microwaves, a subset… …
8Microwave landing system — The NASA 737 research aircraft on the Wallops runway in 1987 with the Microwave Landing System equipment in the foreground. A microwave landing system (MLS) is an all weather, precision landing system originally intended to replace or supplement… …
9Microwave oven — A modern microwave oven …
10Microwave power meter — A microwave power meter is an instrument which measures the electrical power at microwave frequencies. Usually a microwave power meter will consist of a measuring head which contains the actual power sensing element, connected via a cable to the… …
