Abstract.A technique has been developed to diagnose the plasma column generated with Surface-Wave sustained plasma (SWP) source under different conditions. Principal physical properties, ion density and electron temperature were studied. Influence of several factors, such as the microwave power, the gas pressure on the ion density, the electron temperature was studied. The axial and radial distribution of electron temperature and ion density was also researched.The results show the Surface-Wave sustained plasma column is able to generate plasma of about 3ev electron temperature and 1011 cm-3 ion density. It is found in the experiment that at 2 Pa in gas pressure and 60 W in input power, the ion density and electron temperature are up to 6.8×1017 m-3 and 2.8 ev at 200 mm, 1.5×1017 m-3 and 2.2 ev at 1000 mm from the base. It is also found that the physical properties can be changed by adjusting the microwave power and the pressure. So, the Surface-Wave sustained plasma column is suit for the application of plasma antennas and other relative applications.

The paper proposed a two dimensional (2D) electrical conductivity model based on the solid state plasma concentration distribution model. The results indicated that the imaginary part of the electrical conductivity is more sensitive to the electromagnetic signal frequency than the real part. And the real part is mainly effected by the internal properties of the solid state plasma. Finally, a smart solid state plasma dipole antenna is designed to test the effect of the imaginary part of the electrical conductivity on the radiation characteristics of the antenna. Plasma dipole antenna has also been compared with metal dipole antenna, the results show that the plasma antenna is entirely possible to replace the metal antenna.

“…For the past decades, numerous contributions have been done continuously on the plasma antennas in various realms of application, such as communication [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], radio detection [11], target directing [12] and so on [13]. In the area of communication, the plasma element was considered as an effective radiator to release the electromagnetic energy just as the metal element did.…”

Abstract-In this paper, a new plasma antenna of beam-forming is investigated based upon the interaction of plasma elements due to the incident electromagnetic wave. It presents a study of the multiple scattering from argon plasma cylinders rigorously applying boundary value method, grounded on the properties of electromagnetic wave transmitted in the argon plasma. Approximate expressions for the total radiation of plasma antenna in the far field are derived briefly. Such a novel plasma antenna of beam-forming, according to the research, exhibits interesting performance in terms of radiation efficiency, beam-forming and beam-scanning. Valid results are brought forth to demonstrate the capabilities of such antenna of two scales. Comparisons are given in detail as well.
