LIFTING REENTRY COMMUNICATIONS. VOLUME 3: PLANE WAVE ATTENUATION TABLES

Abstract

The reentry signal attenuation calculations presented in this volume are a part of the lifting reentry communication system study described in Volumes I and II. Extensive plane wave attenuation tables are given for several plasma conditions. A brief review of the plane wave analysis is also included. Plasma antenna effects and the effects of inhomogeneities in the plasma sheath are discussed.
