A NUMERICAL METHOD FOR COMPUTING TRANSMISSION AND REFLECTION COEFFICIENTS OF AN INHOMOGENEOUS PLASMA LAYER

Abstract

A numerical method of computing reflection and transmission coefficients for inhomogeneous plasma layers when the gradient of inhomogeneity is normal to the surface of the layer is presented. The method is applied to a specific problem of telemetry from a body reentering the earth's atmosphere and the results are discussed.
