Study on the polarization properties of electromagnetic waves with arbitrary magnetic declination in magnetized plasma

The polarization characteristics of oblique incidence electromagnetic waves in magnetized cold plasma layer are studied using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method based on the trapezoidal recursive convolution (TRC) technology. The TRC-FDTD formulations are derived in detail and are confirmed by computing the reflection and transmission coefficients for the elliptically polarized wave through a magnetized cold plasma slab with arbitrary magnetic direction. Particularly, when the propagation direction of the EM wave is parallel to the magnetic direction, the right-circular-polarized and left-circular-polarized wave should be considered. When the propagation direction of the EM wave is perpendicular to the magnetic direction, the ordinary polarized wave and extraordinary polarized wave should be considered.     

Extended Schwinger-Boson theory of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnets

The properties of the possible solitary electromagnetic waves, propagating in two-dimensional SIS Josephson junction without dissipative losses are investigated on the basis of the local theory of the junction. A classification of the waves in the junction with respect to the Swihart velocity is made. It is shown that allowed and forbidden areas for the wave numbers, wave frequency and wave amplitude exist. The cut-off frequency for the solitary waves which velocity is greater than the Swihart velocity can be smaller than the Josephson plasma frequency and moreover these waves can propagate only in a junction that is large in the direction perpendicular to the propagation direction. On the contrary the solitary waves which velocity is smaller than the Swihart velocity request junction size in the above direction to be smaller than a critical one. The investigated two-dimensional solitary waves can be connected with one or two quanta of the magnetic flux.

FDTD Analysis of Electromagnetic Reflection by Conductive Plane Covered with Magnetized Inhomogeneous Plasmas

A novel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methodology which incorporates both anisotropy and frequency dispersion at the same time is developed for electromagnetic wave propagation in anisotropic magnetoactive plasmas in this paper. The numerical verification of the method are confirmed by computing the reflection and transmission of right-handed/left-handed circularly polarized (RCP/LCP) wave through a magnetized plasma layer, with the direction of propagation parallel to the direction of the biasing field. And, the right-handed / left-handed polarized wave reflection coefficients for electromagnetic signals normally incident upon a conductive plane covered with a layer of magnetized plasma are computed using the new FDTD method. The parabolic electron-number density profile varies only in the direction perpendicular to the plane. The function dependence of reflection coefficients on the number density, collision frequency and external magnetic field is studied.     

Penetration of an ordinary wave into a weakly inhomogeneous magnetoplasma at oblique incidence

A theory is given describing the propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in a plane-stratified weakly inhomogeneous plasma. The density gradient is supposed to be perpendicular to the external magnetic field and the wave vector is expected not to be generally parallel to the plane given by both the preceding vectors. The analysis points out that the ordinary wave can penetrate through the plasma resonance region if the direction of vacuum wave vector is chosen appropriately. Analytical expressions for the reflecion and transmission coefficients are obtained and their dependence on the direction cosines of the wave vector of the incident is studied. The paper further shows in outline that, after transmission through the plasma resonance, the ordinary wave is transformed into an extraordinary wave and the latter is reflected back to the region of the hybrid resonance. In this region the extraordinary wave is fully transformed into the Bernstein modes.     

Numerical analysis of the reflection and absorption of electromagnetic wave in nonuniform magnetized plasma slab

In this paper, a model for calculating the reflection and absorption powers of electromagnetic wave (EM wave) in nonuniform magnetized plasma slab is given out based on layer propagation theory. The effects of various plasma parameters and different values of magnetic field intensity on the reflected and absorbed powers are discussed. The results illustrate that the thickness of plasma seldom affects the reflection of radar wave, but it can broaden or reduce the absorption width. Meanwhile, the background magnetic field intensity has an influence upon the results, and it could change the resonance spectrum of magnetized plasma. We also find out that, with appropriate plasma density, collision frequency and magnetic field intensity, more than 90% of radar wave power can be absorbed and the resonant absorption band is about 2 GHz.     

Interaction of electromagnetic waves with a magnetized nonuniform plasma slab

The absorption, reflection, and transmission of electromagnetic waves by a nonuniform plasma slab immersed in an ambient uniform magnetic field of various strengths are studied in this paper. The effects of the plasma parameters and magnetic field strength on the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted power are discussed. The magnetized nonuniform plasma slab is modeled by a series of magnetized uniform plasma subslabs. The calculation results show that the effects of the magnetic field strength and density gradient on the absorbed power, as well as the frequency band of resonant absorption, are significant. A complete analysis utilizing the scattering matrix method is also used to compare the above calculation results which neglect multiple reflections between subslab interfaces. Broadband absorption of electromagnetic waves can be achieved by changing the magnetic field strength and plasma density. More than 90% of the electromagnetic wave power can be absorbed in a magnetized nonuniform plasma slab with width of 12 cm and the absorption bandwidth can range from 1 to 20 GHz with different plasma parameters and external magnetic field strengths.     

Electrodynamic Model of the Gas Discharge Sustained by Azimuthal Surface Waves

Results of studying an electrodynamical model of the plasma producer based on azimuthal surface waves (ASW) propagation both in a cylindrical metal waveguide filled by magnetoactive plasma and along metal cylindrical antenna placed into the plasma are presented. Parameters of these gas discharges are studied in the two frequency ranges where propagation of the ASW is possible and also are compared. The value of plasma density that can be achieved by this producer is calculated. The spatial distribution of the wave electromagnetic fields, dependencies of their penetration depth into plasma and angular discharge length on the discharge parameters are studied analytically and numerically. Advantages of the operation in the both frequency ranges are indicated. Possibility of resonant absorption of the ASW energy due to their conversion into the bulk upper hybrid mode is examined as well.     

Theoretical study of two-element array of equilateral triangular patch microstrip antenna on ferrite substrate

The radiation characteristics of a two-element array of equilateral triangular patch microstrip antenna on a ferrite substrate are studied theoretically by considering the presence of bias magnetic field in the direction of propagation of electromagnetic waves. It is found that the natural modes of propagation in the direction of magnetic field are left- and right-circularly polarized waves and these modes have different propagation constants. In loss-less isotropic warm plasma, this array antenna geometry excites both electromagnetic (EM) and electroacoustic plasma (P) waves in addition to a nonradiating surface wave. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the EM- and P-waves can be decoupled into two independent modes, the electroacoustic mode is longitudinal while the electromagnetic mode is transverse. The far-zone EM-mode and P-mode radiation fields are derived using vector wave function techniques and pattern multiplication approaches. The results are obtained in both plasma medium and free space. Some important antenna parameters such as radiation conductance, directivity and quality factor are plotted for different values of plasma-to-source frequency.
