Abstract

The emission of plasma waves by a conducting body orbiting the ionosphere is considered. The case of an infinitely long and infinitely thin tether is discussed and the use of the appropriate form of the wave dispersion relation in the frequency regime of interest is shown to reconcile existing results in the literature. A compact formula for the radiation resistance of the tether is provided.
