Frequently Asked Questions (14)
Q2. what is the reflection coefficient of i-th to i-th plasma?
When EMW reflects from the interface of air-toplasma, the reflection coefficient is Γ0, and the reflection coefficient about i-th to (i + 1)-th plasma layers is Γi, and the coefficient of n-th plasma layer to inner conductor is Γn.
Q3. what is the refraction index in plasma circle?
When EMW incidence angle θ0 is 90◦, plasma deviation angle is 180◦, that is, EMW rays propagate straightly along the tangent of plasma cylinder.
Q4. what is the reflection coefficient of i-th to i-th?
Due to double-path attenuation, the reflection coefficient in i-th layer plasma envelopes should be modified, and it yields∣∣∣Γ̃i ∣∣∣ 2 = |Γi|2 i∏q=1( 1− |Γq−1|2 ) exp −4ki,ql√1− sin2 θ0εp,q (20)where, as p = q = 1, Γq−1 is Γ0; as l = i = n, Γq = −1; ki,q is q-th layer plasma attenuation constant.
Q5. What is the effect of plasma stealth on the conductor?
The absorption and attenuation characteristics of EMW propagation in unmagnetized plasma were observed experimentally by Hughes Research Laboratories [2].
Q6. what is the reflection coefficient of emw?
When EMW enters cylinder conductor covered with concentric cylinder plasma envelopes because of EMW refraction, reflection and absorption by plasma, in the case of EMW rays with larger incidence angle, EMW rays will deviate greatly from original direction, and the refraction angle is θd, so such EMW rays cannot reach inner conductor.
Q7. how does the law of emw reflect from air to plasma?
By using Snell’s law again, it yields 1 · sin θ0 = √εp1 · sin θt1 = √εp,i · sin θt,i = √εp,i+1 · sin θt,i+1 (18)Substituting formula (18) into formula (17) and arranging, the authors obtain the coefficient expressed by relative permittivity asΓi = √ εp,i cos θt,i+1 −√εp,i+1 cos θt,i√ εp,i+1 cos θt,i + √ εp,i cos θt,i+1=√ εp,i √ 1− sin2 θ0/εp,i+1 −√εp,i+1 √ 1− sin2 θ0/εp,i√ εp,i+1 √ 1− sin2 θ0/εp,i + εp,i √ 1− sin2 θ0/εp,i+1(19)When plasma collision is considered, there exists attenuation in the processing of EMW propagating trough plasma envelopes.
Q8. What is the refraction angle in plasma?
It is seen from Figures 3 and 4 that when EMW incidence angle is bigger than critical angle θmin but smaller than 90◦, the bigger incidence angle is, the smaller refraction angle is, and the bigger m value is, the smaller refraction angle is.
Q9. What is the refraction index of a plasma circle?
Supposed non-uniform un-magnetized plasma envelopes are divided into n layers, and the refraction angle of EMW in i-th layer of plasma envelopes is θti.
Q10. What was the concept of plasma stealth first proposed by Vidmar?
The concept of plasma stealth was proposed first by Vidmar [1], who theoretically studied the reflection, transmission and absorption characteristic of EMW propagation in un-magnetized plasma.
Q11. What is the refraction index in plasma circle?
As mentioned above, plasma density changes gradually along R direction, and thus plasma refraction index function is as formula (8).
Q12. What is the equation of EMW in cylinder plasma?
It is seen from Figure 2 that when EMW incidence angle θ0 is 0◦, plasma refraction deviation angle is 0◦ too, and incidence EMWreflects completely along the original path.
Q13. What is the subject of the paper?
The subject investigated is a model of a cylinder perfect conductor, whose radius is r0, covered with concentric cylinder plasma envelopes, as shown in Figure 1.
Q14. What is the difference between the two cases?
The other case is that the rays among parallel EMW rays withshorter distance to the circle center, supposed rd < r0, have smaller incidence angle, which may be incidence on the conductor.
