Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges

Abstract

Reconfigurable characteristics of monopole plasma antenna are investigated in the paper, related analysis and experiments on the reconfigurable characteristics of the plasma antenna e.g., working frequency, radiation pattern are completed and many experimental results are obtained. The research results show that the reconfigurable characteristics of monopole plasma antenna can be realized and optimized under certain external excited conditions. The radiation parameters the plasma antenna array also can be reconfigured through changing variable parameters of the plasma elements, the related analysis and simulations are presented.
