Toward the theory of a loop antenna in an anisotropic plasma

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the problem of determining the current distribution along a loop antenna consisting of an infinitely thin perfectly conducting strip coiled into a ring. The antenna is immersed in an anisotropic plasma medium perpendicular to the external magnetic field and is excited by a given EMF. Primary attention is focused on the frequency band in which the excitation of electrostatic waves is possible. The problem is reduced to solving a system of integral equations with logarithmic and singular kernels. Using the solution of these equations, we found expressions for the antenna current distribution and input impedance. The analysis of these expressions is presented.
