“…Russo and Cerri [9][10][11] have researched the properties of the surfaguide-fed plasma antenna. The problems of the nonlinear behavior of plasma antenna vibrators have been studied by Belyaev et al 12 Zhang et al 13 investigated the interactions between electromagnetic waves and glow plasma. Lee, 14 Qian 15 and Li 16,17 have all presented numerical analyses of plasma-column antennas using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.…”

The experiments described in this work were performed with the aim of introducing a new plasma antenna that was excited by a 5-20 kHz alternating current (AC) power supply, where the antenna was transformed into a U-shape. The results show that the impedance, voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR), radiation pattern and gain characteristics of the antenna can be controlled rapidly by varying not only the discharge power, but also by varying the discharge frequency in the range from 5 to 20 kHz. When the discharge frequency is adjusted from 10 to 12 kHz, the gain is higher within a relatively broad frequency band and the switch-on time is less than 1 ms when the discharge power is less than 5 W, meaning that the plasma antenna can be turned on and off rapidly.

“…In recent years much plasma antenna research has been done by theoretical, numerical and experimental methods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The most popular plasma antenna type is the Plasma Asymmetrical Dipole (monopole) antenna (PAD) [1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Some little explored problems of plasma antennas are: the noise performances of the plasma antenna; non-linear distortions and current instabilities in the plasma of gas discharge, the choice of optimum plasma parameters for PAD operation, and the role of the surface electromagnetic wave (surface wave) [12] in antenna operation.…”

<p>Existence modes of surface electromagnetic wave on a plasma cylinder, operating modes and characteristics of the plasma antenna were studied in this paper. Solutions of the dispersion equation of surface wave were obtained for a plasma cylinder with finite radius for different plasma density values. Operation modes of the plasma asymmetric dipole antenna with finite length and radius were researched by numerical simulation. The electric field distributions of the plasma antenna in near antenna field and the radiation pattern were obtained. These characteristics were compared to characteristics of the similar metal antenna. Numerical models verification was carried out by comparing of the counted and measured metal antenna radiation patterns.</p>
