RADIATION FROM A PLASMA-CLAD AXIALLY-SLOTTED CYLINDER

Abstract

Expressions were developed for the complete radiation pattern from a finite axial slot on an infinite circular cylinder covered with a homogeneous, uniform plasma sheath. The resulting field expressions are functions of both the longitude angle and the polar angle. Numerical results were obtained for a thin lossless plasma to determine the variation of the field pattern with plasma frequency, plasma thickness, slot width, and cylinder radius. These results are presented graphically to illustrate various properties of the radiating system. (Author)
