Ionospheric power beam studiesA power density level of 23 mW/sq cm is presented as a design specification based on theoretical calculations of a threshold for microwave ionosphere nonlinear interaction (thermal runaway). For comparable power densities, enhanced electron heating is observed to change the electron temperature by a factor of two or three, but not by an order of magnitude.
