A brief review of Cerenkov radiation within the upper atmospheric plasma has been presented. Different attempts in this context are systematically discussed. The results of analysis about the nature and characteristics of VLF hisses in terms of incoherent Cerenkov radiation are given in a concise manner. The occurrence of resonance cone has also been reported.read more

RADIATION FROM A UNIFORMLY MOVING CHARGE IN AN ANISOTROPIC PLASMA. Technical Report No. 389
H.S. Tuan,S.R. Seshadri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the radiation from a point charge moving uniformly in a plasma, when the charge is moving in the direction of an external magnetic field, and obtained two sets of values of these parameters, the frequency and the angular spectrum of the emitted radiation.

Vlf hiss and related plasma observations in the polar magnetosphere.
D. A. Gurnett,L. A. Frank +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of auroral-zone vlf hiss and low-energy charged-particle observations with the Injun 5 satellite is presented, and the results of this study provide a direct verification of the association between auroral zone vlfHiss and intense fluxes of low energy electrons with energies on the order of 100 eV to several keV.

The impedance of a short dipole antenna in a magnetoplasma
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-static electromagnetic theory for the impedance of a short cylindrical dipole in a magnetoplasma is derived using quasistatic electromagnetic theories, which is valid in a lossy plasma and for any dipole orientation with respect to the magnetic field.

Resonance Cones in the Field Pattern of a Radio Frequency Probe in a Warm Anisotropic Plasma
R. K. Fisher,Roy W. Gould +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and theoretical investigation of the angular distribution of the electric field of a short radio frequency probe in a plasma in a magnetic field is described, where the field becomes very large along a resonance cone whose axis is parallel to the static magnetic field and whose opening angle is observed to vary with incident probe frequency, cyclotron frequency, and plasma frequency in agreement with cold plasma dielectric theory.
