A Study of Microwave Breakdown at High Temperatures.
Abstract
The major portion of the work was devoted to the development of numerical techniques for the quantitative prediction of high temperature breakdown thresholds in re-entry environments when fringing field effects must be considered. Significant results of this work included the development of a rapid numerical technique for the computation of antenna fringing fields in the electrostatic approximation and the development of a two-dimensional computer code for microwave breakdown predictions in the antenna fringing field in the presence of a high temperature boundary layer.
