Observation of frequency up-conversion in the propagation of a high-power microwave pulse in a self-generated plasmaA chamber experiment is conducted to study the propagation of a high-power microwave pulse. The results show that the pulse is experiencing frequency up-shift while ionizing the background air if the initial carrier frequency of the pulse is higher than the electron plasma frequency at the incident boundary. Such a frequency autoconversion process may lead to reflectionless propagation of a high-power microwave pulse through the atmosphere.
