Abstract
The harmonic generation of high power microwave in plasma filled waveguide is studied and the analytical theory is presented, and the numerical calculation and analysis of second harmonic are done in this paper. The theoretical and numerical analysis show that high power microwave can generate harmonic in the plasma filled waveguide.
