Abstract: | The effects of wall impedances on the radiation of the dominant transverse electromagnetic wave by an impedance loaded parallel‐plate waveguide radiator immersed in a cold plasma have been analyzed. The solution to the governing mathematical model in cold plasma is determined while using the Wiener–Hopf technique. It is observed that the amplitude of the radiated field increases with increasing permittivity of the plasma. The work presented may be of great interest to quantify the effects of ionosphere plasma on the communicating signals between Earth station and an artificial satellite in the Earth's atmosphere.
