In this paper, a methodology is presented to compute the plasma properties (eg,, density and temperature) accounting for the dynamics of the excited states. The proposed strategy …
A theoretical model is proposed to preliminary assess the performance of plasma-based reflecting and transmitting surfaces. The model has been verified and, subsequently …
This work focuses on a numerical suite targeted at cathodeless plasma thrusters. A Global Model is used for preliminary estimation of the propulsive performance. In the plasma …
This study analyses, for the first time, the use of reflective surfaces based on magnetized plasmas for polarization conversion. The feasibility of this concept has been assessed via a …
This article presents the complete design of a hybrid metal-plasma transmit-array antenna with beam-scanning capabilities. The antenna operates at 1.07 GHz and consists of an …
Gaseous Plasma Antennas are devices in which an ionized gas (ie, plasma) is exploited to transmit and receive Electromagnetic waves. Their main advantage over metallic systems is …
The experimental characterization of a plasma dipole in the ultrahigh frequency band is presented. The antenna consists on two customized plasma sources disposed as the arms …
The design of a reflective surface operated in the GHz range is proposed to enable beam- steering and polarization conversion simultaneously. The concept presented in this work …
The accurate simulation of the plasma transport in helicon sources is a key aspect to improve the design of Helicon Plasma Thrusters (HPTs). Specifically, the 3D-VIRTUS code …
