Abstract
Microwave reflection is considered for nonuniform plasmas with an exponential electron distribution that approaches an equilibrium value far downstream. Several approximate formulas for the reflection coefficient and phase-shift angle and the graphical results of some numerical calculations are presented. Comparison of the results with those for ``ramped'' electron distributions shows an interesting point; when piecewise linear segments are used to represent a continuous electron distribution, the wave interactions may affect the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves.
