Abstract
The possibility of formation of a virtual guiding system from a bunch of plasma channels of the filaments of femtosecond laser pulses for transmission of microwave radiation in air is considered. The effective conductivity and the skin depth of the laser plasma of such filaments are calculated for the microwave band. Optimum spatial configurations of plasma channels corresponding to a single-wire transmission line and a hollow cylindrical waveguide are proposed. Estimates of the energy loss of microwave radiation in plasma waveguides of various configurations are obtained.
