APPLICATION OF PLASMA SIMULATION TO SLOT AND GAP ANTENNAS.
Abstract
A plasma simulation technique has been applied to determine the effects of a plasma on the aperture admittance of radiators located on structures that are of a nonplanar shape. Specifically the normalized aperture admittance, with and without plasma, has been determined for a slot on cylinders of different radii, and for a cylindrical gap antenna. In addition, the plasma effects on the mutual coupling of two rectangular slots has also been found experimentally and compared to theory. All experimental results show good agreement with theory.
