Experimental study of the impedance of a short dipole in a plasma for parallel and perpendicular orientation with respect to the D.C. magnetic field

Abstract

Measurements were made of the input admittance of a small dipole immersed in a steady-state plasma with an external magnetic field.Antenna orientations parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field were studied. The data were compared to theoretical expressions derived previously by Balmain and fairly good qualitative agreement was found.
