Contents I. INTRODUCTION
The progression of technology has led to the interest of using High Power Microwaves (HPM) in a broadening range of applications. Examples of more modern HPM-related applications include particle accelerators, plasma heating, space propulsion, power beaming, high power radar and directed energy weapons [1]. The limiting factor for some of these applications is the energy density and transportability of the HPM system. Field-deployed devices, such as active denial, require the system to be mounted on a vehicle and transported to where it is needed. More conventional HPM and pulsed power systems can be somewhat bulky, and are typically not suited for such applications. Although ideas for new, more compact conventional pulsed power systems are constantly being reported, some classes of pulsed power are more inherently suited for these uses.
