Abstract

We performed a theoretical and experimental study of low-frequency oscillation in a Hall thruster. The oscillation phenomenon depends on various external control parameters. However, we found that such dependence can be observed very clearly using certain expressions, which are combinations of external control parameters. Using these expressions, one can observe the oscillation strength and oscillation mode for a given set of external control parameters. We considered that low-frequency oscillation can be essentially suppressed by a method of determining parameter sets. The method of determining the parameter sets is very important for Hall thruster design and control; in particular, it makes it easy to manage electromagnetic compatibility with the other equipments in a satellite, using a power supply control.
