“…It is very important to find out the mechanism and phenomena about the interactions between EM wave and plasma in the study of this technology. In the past twenty years, a number of analytical and numerical methods have been proposed to investigate the wave propagation in plasma [2,3,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Hu et al [15] used a scattering matrix method to calculate the reflection, transmission and absorption characteristic of EM wave propagation in nonuniform magnetized plasma, where the external magnetized field direction is perpendicular to the direction of EM wave propagation.…”

Abstract-An analytical technique referred to as the propagator matrix method (PMM) is presented to study the problem of electromagnetic (EM) waves interacting with the nonuniform magnetized plasma. In this method, the state vector is proposed to describe the characteristics of eigen waves in anisotropic medium, and state vectors at two different locations are related with each other by the propagator matrix. This method can be used to deal with the phenomenon of the transformation of EM wave polarization induced by anisotropic magnetized plasma, besides the conventional propagation characteristics through plasma slab, which overcomes the drawback of other analytical methods introduced in former studies. The EM problem model considered in this work is a steady-state, two-dimensional, nonuniform magnetized plasma slab with arbitrary magnetic declination angle, which is composed of a number of subslabs. Each subslab has a fixed electron density, and the overall density profile across the whole slab follows any practical distribution function. Based on PMM, a significant feature of strong transformation of EM wave polarization is addressed when an incident wave normally projects on the slab, which leads to the reflected or transmitted waves containing two kinds of waves, i.e., the co-polarized wave and the cross-polarized wave. The effects of varying the plasma parameters on the reflected and transmitted powers of co-polarization and cross-polarization, as well as the absorptive power

“…Since 1990s, academic institutions and researchers, overseas and domestic, have been studying plasma stealth technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The concept of plasma stealth was proposed first by Vidmar [1], who theoretically studied the reflection, transmission and absorption characteristic of EMW propagation in un-magnetized plasma.…”

Abstract-Stealth characteristic of two dimensional cylinder plasma envelopes is studied. Three cases about plasma refraction effect, reflection characteristic and attenuation by absorbing electromagnetic wave (EMW) are concerned synthetically. As for plasma refraction stealth, EMW traces equation in cylinder plasma is deduced; a novel concept of plasma refraction deviation angle is presented; the relation between refraction deviation angle and incidence angle of EMW is yielded; the relation between refraction deviation angle and plasma density distribution is made out. As for reflection stealth and attenuation stealth, reflection calculation of multi-layer plasma is presented first, and plasma collision frequency as well as corresponding collision absorption is taken into account simultaneously, then EMW reflectivity with double-path attenuation is obtained. It is shown that cylinder plasma envelopes considering the three cases above could make distinct stealth.Corresponding author: L.-X. Ma (mars982133@163.com). 84Ma et al.

“…5,8 Numerical methods have been used to investigate the interactions between the EM wave and plasma sheath with non-uniform electron density distribution. Many different algorithms have been proposed to study the transmission and absorption of EM wave in non-uniform plasma, such as the WKB method, 9 integro-differential equation, 10 scattering matrix method (SMM) 5,11,12 and FDTD. 7,13 However, to our knowledge, most of these researches were focused on the interaction between vertically-incident wave and non-homogeneous plasma, 14,15 and few researches were focused on the obliquely incident wave.…”

In this paper, the propagation of obliquely incident terahertz (THz) wave in a non-uniform magnetized plasma slab is investigated. The electron density and the collision frequency across the plasma are assumed to have a Gaussian profile. To deal with the non-uniform profile, the plasma slab is divided into a series of subslabs. For more accuracy, twice reflection between the interfaces of each subslab is considered, and the corresponding transmitted and reflected power are derived. Effects of collision frequency, magnetic field amplitude and incident angle on THz wave propagation characteristics are investigated. Specifically, the refraction angles in each subslab are presented. These simulation results are meaningful for the hypersonic flight communication.
