RADIO FREQUENCY PROPAGATION THROUGH AN INHOMOGENEOUS, MAGNETOACTIVE, NONLINEAR PLASMA MEDIUM.

Abstract

The Boltzmann equation corresponding to an electromagnetic wave propagating in a magnetoactive plasma is solved by making a spherical harmonic expansion of the electron distribution function. The problem of a plane, monochromatic wave normally incident upon a nonlinear, anisotropic, inhomogeneous plasma slab is also considered.
