National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Plasma Produced Antenna Pattern Distortion.


AD605271

Publication Date 1964
Personal Author Jacavanco, D. J.
Page Count 2
Abstract This report describes an experimental attempt to determine and measure the antenna pattern distortion produced by a layer of plasma. A brief theoretical and experimental summary of the problem is given, followed by the theory pertaining to this particular experimental geometry. The complete experiment, including the generation and measurement of the plasma, the vacuum system, and the antenna pattern measuring equipment is described in detail. Results are presented and compared with the theoretical predictions. Finally the merits of the experiment are weighed and future plans are given. (Author)
