Smith, Renzhen XiaoA number of published papers are reporting that electromagnetic radiation is being generated by unexpected sources such as explosives, metal fracturing, or peeling common adhesive tape under vacuum. Here, we report on an unconventional microwave source (UMS) that produces, with a high degree of reproducibility, electromagnetic radiation covering an unusually wide frequency spectrum ranging from hundreds of kilohertz to many tens of gigahertz. The UMS is based on picosecond electric breakdown of a polymer and does not require vacuum technology.
