  • Abstract
    The nature of microwave technology is defined in the discovery of microwave, which was initially used for military purposes. The invention of radar and microwave ovens are both attributed to this significant discovery. This paper explores significant applications of microwave technology and analyzed the impact on various aspects of this high technology. The new paradigm shift has resulted in tremendous social, economic and cultural impact on our society. Through its half-century of progress, microwave ovens, the most significant by-product of microwave technology, have revolutionized the food industry, creating a paradigm that has completely changed our life styles. Microwave technology finds its ways into numerous military applications. The new emerging technologies in microwaves have altered the future war outlook. The high power microwave technology used in developing intelligent and sophisticated modern weapon systems and radar systems has created tremendous advantages for the war. The paradigm in other industries such as telecommunications, IT, chemistry and many more is far-reaching beyond our perception. The superiority of microwave technology has demonstrated its power and the great commercial values as a result of these applications are discussed throughout this paper. The microwave truly created a new wave.
