other infrastructure damage (see Figure 5.6.10b ). Potential applications of this technology
include remote mine detonation [32], antipersonnel weapon systems, missile defense system,
disabling of LEO satellite, lightly armored vehicles such as cars, drones, jet skis, small boats,
etc.

Note in conclusion that we entirely devoted this chapter to primary antenna philosophy and its
performance. The attentive reader probably observes that we practically avoided the critical
issue of antenna feed and its interface with another system components like generators or
receivers. We touched on this subject from time to time but did not answer the central question
of how to realize them practically. Let us now proceed to the next chapter.
