Abstract
The electromagnetic radiation from an aperture on a conducting cylinder coated with a moving isotropic plasma sheath is considered. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the radiation patterns as functions of sheath velocity and plasma frequency for the circumferential slot and axial slot apertures. It is found for the circumferential slot aperture that the radiation is enhanced in the direction of sheath motion when the plasma is overdense and that relatively little change occurs when the sheath is underdense. For the axial slot, it is found that an electromagnetic field is radiated whose polarization is normal to that of the field radiated under stationary conditions, in addition to a field of the usual polarization. Significant alterations of radiation patterns from their form when the sheath is stationary can occur at relatively small velocities if the wave frequency is near the plasma frequency.
