Abstract

The numerical model of a plasma asymmetric dipole antenna is studied in this paper. This antenna consists of a dielectric tube with discharge plasma and a metal screen. The plasma in the tube is simulated by Particle-in-cell (PIC) method. The spectra of the electromagnetic field components were studied in the plasma and the near antenna field for various antenna operating modes. The operating modes depend on a ratio of a plasma frequency and a frequency of radiated electromagnetic wave. Langmuir frequency component was found in spectra within plasma for all antenna operating modes. The amplitude of this spectral component is greater than the amplitude of the component at the carrier frequency for nonradiative and non-linear modes. The biggest amplitude of the radiated signal spectrum is at the carrier frequency in the linear mode.
