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...
