VOLTAGE BREAKDOWN IN IONIZED AIR AT FREQUENCIES FROM ZERO TO 10,000 MEGACYCLES,
Abstract
A need arose for experimental data which would enable more exact design of surface-mounted antennas on missiles which would avoid corona and voltage breakdown in the higher atmosphere. A contract was initiated to obtain (1) a literature search and (2) experimental data covering voltage breakdown in air as a function of pressure, frequency, pulse length, electrode spacing, and degree of ionization.
