Radiation from a gyro-plasma coated magnetic line source

Abstract

The radiation from a magnetic line source supported by a perfectly conducting plane and coated with a sheath of lossy gyro-plasma is analyzed in this paper. It is found that the radiation pattern becomes narrower as the plasma collision frequency increases, the beam is shifted according to the intensity of the applied static magnetic field, and that the attenuation through the anisotropic plasma is in close agreement with the results obtained for the plane wave approximation.
