Radiation Characteristics of Plasma Triangular Antenna

This paper presents the results of a study on the radiation characteristics of a plasma triangular antenna in the VHF band (۳۰-۳۰۰MHz) applying the method of moment. Deriving the current distribution of the antenna, it shows the relationship between radiation characteristics of the plasma antenna and the plasma parameters. Both theoretical and numerical results indicate that if the plasma frequency is sufficiently higher than the operating frequency and the collision frequency is correspondingly low, the radiation treatment of the plasma antenna will be close to a metal one. Also the consequence of simulations reveals the proposed plasma antenna has better peak gain than the conventional plasma column on the operating band. The results of the current study are checked by using full wave HFSS simulator.
