Frequency Up-Shift in Interaction of Powerful Plasma Wave with an Inhomogeneous Plasma

Abstract

A frequency up-shift of twenty megahertz is observed in the interaction of a high power microwave (f(sub o)=2.84 GHz) with a magnetized inhomogeneous argon plasma. The dependencies of the frequency up-shift on the incident microwave power and frequency have been investigated. The induced up-shift is considered to be related to a rapidly growth plasma density in plasma wave guide.
