Microwave Weapons Are Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers
RF/Microwave EE here.  I actually tried this on myself several years ago with no effect.  Specifically 20W at C-band into a 10 dBi standard gain horn a few feet away, pulse mod to 1 kHz.  That was still not near enough power density.While it’s plausible, it would take a big effort to affect this many people.  The peak power densities, as described in the paper, would be tens of W/cm^2; e.g. radar transmitters and big antennas.To direct this power, you’d have to track someone with a high gain antenna, and once you are non line of sight, it would attenuate greatly.  That, or you’d have to place covert equipment in close proximity, in many locations.It would also be very easy to detect with basic test equipment, as the desired peak power levels are huge.Maybe there could be some organ resonance effect with mmWaves, such as bones in the ear, but that is sketchy too.Here is the link from the article:https://braincontrolhedge.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/audito...
