Preface Prometheus brought fire to mankind Arthur R. von Hippel “Dielectrics and Waves”, 1954 Our contribution? There are only few areas of research and development of a comparable scientific and technological extension as microwave and high frequency processing. “Processing” means not only application of radiation of 300 MHz to 300 GHz frequency to synthesis, heating or ionisation of matter but also generation, transmission and detection of microwave and radio frequency radiation. Microwave and high frequency sources positioned in the orbit are the foundation of modern satellite telecommunication systems, gyrotron tubes being presently developed in different countries all over the world will most probably be the major devices to open up a new era of energy supply to mankind be means of fusion plasma. Although initiated by military purposes during the Second World War (RADAR, Radio Detection and Ranging), microwave and high frequency utilisation has spread over almost every important aspect of normal day life since than, from individual mobile phones and kitchen microwave ovens to industrial food processing, production of composites as sustainable building materials, green chemistry, medical applications and finally infrastructure installations like GPS and Galileo, to name only few
