Studied are the antenna properties of the UHF discharge plasma at the threshold of the resonance of the electron Langmuir frequency with the pump second harmonic. The results of experimental measurements of some characteristics of a plasma antenna-amplifier at the LF range are shown. A mathematical model of a similar antenna, which allows proceeding to a physical model of the distributed parametric amplifier, is built.References
