On the Excitation Methods and the Realization of Tunable and Reconfigurable Plasma Wire Antennas

In this paper, an investigation on the methods of excitation and realization of reconfigurable and tunable plasma antennas is presented. Plasma columns operating as antennas are usually excited by a surface-wave technique. Concerning the drawbacks of the conventional surface-wave launchers for the p...

In this paper, an investigation on the methods of excitation and realization of reconfigurable and tunable plasma antennas is presented. Plasma columns operating as antennas are usually excited by a surface-wave technique. Concerning the drawbacks of the conventional surface-wave launchers for the plasma antennas, a modified excitation mechanism is proposed here for applying the signal and excitation waves at a single point along the plasma column. Based on the surface-wave-excited plasma elements, frequency tunable and reconfigurable plasma antennas are analyzed and developed. Good agreement between the simulation and measurement results of the implemented prototypes validates the reconfiguration technique. © 2022 Warsaw University of Technology.
