This would be incredibly usefull in the current geurilla wars, were the weapon of choice are IED's and suicide bombs.
This defensive sheild could be fitted onto a vehicle an sweep and area, that way any suicide bombers or IED's could be disabled.

If this huge microwave oven drives through the neighbourhood it most probalby leaves behind overcooked civilians as well. Not good in ´´hearts and minds´´ campaign . And EMP-generating vehicle driving past a hospital would not generate much popularity either .
If the microwave generator could not sweep the nearby area, but would be used as ´´focused´´to disable an already found IED, it would not be very incredibly useful, but simply another (but expensive)tool .
