On radiation of electromagnetic and electroacoustic waves in a plasma

  • James R. Wait
Article

Summary

Radiation from current distributions in a lossless compressible plasma media is considered. A linearized theory is used such that the isotropic electron plasma is regarded as a single fluid continuum. It is found that a considerable portion of the power is radiated as an electro-acoustic type wave. Some specialized results of other investigators are recovered.
