Abstract
AbstractIn this work, the operating parameters of the plasma antenna are optimized using a kinetic model based on Particle in Cell‐Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC‐MCC) method. This optimization study is performed via the investigation of variations in the operating parameters of the plasma antenna, i. e., its dimensions, background gas pressure, and the applied voltage frequency and their consequent effects on the plasma frequency, kinetic energy of electrons and plasma current density of plasma antenna. While the antenna performance is improved at higher tube lengths and applied frequencies, it is optimized at a particular tube radius. Moreover, higher background pressures have increasing effects on the plasma antenna operation. Based on this parametric study, the optimum operating parameters of the plasma antenna are established.
