plasma antenna, UHF, conductivity, permittivity, VSWR, efficiencyAbstract
The state-of-the-art and actual problems of plasma antennas (PA) are considered. An approach to approximate evaluation of the conductivity of two-component plasma is proposed. The loop PA impedance and efficiency at the UHF range are investigated. The results of computation for PA are compared with experimental data and the same results for the loop metal oscillator.References
