    Abstract:

    A decoy and deception concept presently being considered is to
    remotely create the perception of noise in the heads of personnel by
    exposing them to low power, pulsed microwaves. When people are
    illuminated with properly modulated low power microwaves the
    sensation is reported as a buzzing, clicking, or hissing which seems
    to originate (regardless of the person's position in the field)
    within or just behind the head. The phenomena occurs at average power
    densities as low as microwatts per square centimeter with carrier
    frequencies from 0.4 to 3.0 GHz. By proper choice of pulse
    characteristics, intelligible speech may be created. Before this
    technique may be extended and used for military applications, an
    understanding of the basic principles must be developed. Such an
    understanding is not only required to optimize the use of the concept
    for camouflage, decoy and deception operations but is required to
    properly assess safety factors of such microwave exposure.
