Ionization in Hypersonic Wakes. Review of Microwave Probe Instrumentation and Summary of Preliminary Data
Abstract
An outline is given of the progress which was made in the development of the focused microwave probe as a plasma diagnostics tool, and in the application of it to the study of ionization in hypersonic wakes. A major part of the development was concerned with instrumentation, the theoretical analysis of the interaction of the probe field with a plasma, data reduction, and interpretation of the results in terms of magnitudes and spatial variations of electron density and collision frequency.
