Radiation pressure approach to the measurement of single-pulse microwave power

In this paper, the possibility of using electromagnetic wave radiation pressure to the measurement of microwave power, especially the measurement of the peak power or total energy in a single shot high-energy microwave pulse is discussed. A torsion balance with a suspension system for measuring the radiation pressure in free space is proposed. System simulation of the real-time response of the suspension system is made. Some experimental results are presented.
