I am not familiar with the particular Guy, et al. article you mention.
The wavelength of the microwave signal has to be in a certain range,
but the important point is that it is *pulsed*. It is this pulsing pattern
that is modulated.
See, for example, this article:
Microwaves and Behavior
by Don Justesen,
_American Psychologist_,
March 1975, pp. 391-401.
http://www.adacomp.net/~mcherney/justesen.htm
[...]
By radiating themselves with these "voice modulated" microwaves, Sharp
and Grove were readily able to hear, identify, and distinguish among
the 9 words. The sounds heard were not unlike those emitted by persons
with artificial larynxes. Communication of more complex words and of
sentences was not attempted because the averaged densities of energy
required to transmit longer messages would approach the current 10
mW/cm2 limit of safe exposure.
[...]
There is also a US patent for a device based on this principle. Devices
based on microwave hearing have been discussed in certain military circles
for years, for use in covert operations and psychological warfare.
For more info, see for example my web pages at
http://www.datafilter.com/mc/microwaveHearing.html
and
http://www.datafilter.com/mc/nonlethalWeapons.html
It is also important to keep in mind that the microwave speech-modulation
was only an example -- though it is a good one. There has been a great
deal of military research into all sorts of ways to transmit voices to
people. It is sort of an unholy grail of psyop. Ultrasonic heterodyning
devices are even starting to come out in the consumer market these days.
On the political front, there are *known* mind control victims now in the
population who are at best ignored and not even told what was done to
them. For example,
The Cold War Experiments
Radiation tests were only one small part of a vast research program
that used thousands of Americans as guinea pigs.
