You may want to look at the millimeter-wave (95 GHz) Active Denial system,
V-MADS, to see if it provides any clues. They don't seem to transmit much
power, just enough to heat up the target (human) to an uncomfortable degree.
And the systems tested for missile defense run around 4 trillion Watts: a
12-16 million Amp pulse with a rise time of 400 nanoseconds. These are
powered by big flux compressors.

Funny you should mention this. I just read an article in the
paper last night about this, gives me the creeps. They have
some portable units now (if you call a Humvee portable) and
are just itching to deploy them in Iraq. See:

There are plenty more articles around if you care to search.

I don't think that it will produce the results that they are
hoping for...
