WIND TUNNEL STUDIES OF ANTENNA BREAKDOWN. PART III: CONTINUATION OF THE SHEATH SIMULATION.
Abstract
This report describes the studies that have been carried out to develop a source of electrons in the neighborhood of a body containing a microwave slot antenna for use in a wind tunnel stream for antenna breakdown testing. The electron source is a DC arc plasma that is located within the body. Also described are the tests and improvements of the plasma source that have been undertaken during this report period, and the measurements that were made in the ionized layer using a movable double Langmuir probe assembly.
