Abstract

A self-consistent electrodynamic model based on analytic relations, which makes it possible to describe the electromagnetic wave scattering from a thin (compared to the wavelength) plasma channel, is proposed. The results of experimental investigation of the dynamics of the signal scattered by a single channel in air in the pressure range P 0 = 104−1.4 × 104 Pa are presented. The results are analyzed in terms of the electrodynamic model.
