Study of plasma impedance for electrostatic waves coupling

Abstract

The analysis of the plasma impedance with respect to the wupling of elenrostltc waves is described in this paper. We consider the impedance due to bulk (EPW. IBW) and surface waves (SFW). The impedance is calculated using the hypothesis of a magnetized homogeneous plasma and is evaluated with respect to a slow-wave antenna, for the main plasma and wave parameters.
