Study of Plasma Dipole Antenna Using Equivalent Circuit Model

Abstract

This study focuses on the characteristics of a plasma dipole antenna. Plasma antenna is an emerging technology that utilizes ionized gas as a conducting medium instead of metal. It is often convenient to represent the input impedance of the antenna by a lumped-element-equivalent circuit. Input impedance of the plasma dipole antenna is deduced using finite integration technique. A five-lumped-element equivalent circuit for the plasma dipole antenna variation with plasma frequency is investigated and optimized using the genetic algorithm .The effect of plasma frequency of the ionized gas on input impedance variations of the plasma dipole antenna is studied with the help of the equivalent circuit model. This numerical investigation estimates the relation between the resonant frequency as well as the plasma frequency of the plasma antenna
