THE HYDROMAGNETIC WAVE TUBE: THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF MODE STRUCTURES
Abstract
INSTRUMENTATION HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO ALLOW EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF IONOSPHERIC MOTIONS. This device is called the Hydromagnetic Wave Tube. The principal purpose of this report is to theoretically determine the basic modal patterns of the electric and magnetic fields under operating conditions and to determine the propagation characteristics of these fields as functions of the static magnetic field, the ionization concentration, and the frequency of the perturbing source. Brief outlines of the over-all project and the physical construction of the Hydromagnetic Wave Tube are also included. (Author)
