Abstract

The effect of plasma on the transmission properties of electromagnetic waves and its application have always been one of the key research directions of electromagnetic theory and technology and plasma physics. The enhancement effect of collisional plasma on electromagnetic waves is a classic subject of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and plasma. Based on the transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves in medium, this paper takes plasma as a special medium, and carries out experimental, theoretical and simulation studies on the transmission characteristics of high power microwave (HPM) atmospheric plasma and a certain range of electromagnetic waves under certain experimental conditions. The study found that the plasma formed by the S-band HPM under a vacuum of 50 Pa has a great influence on the electromagnetic wave transmission characteristics of different frequencies, and the electromagnetic wave transmission signal enhancement effect occurs regularly within a certain frequency range. A series of transmission waveforms of continuous electromagnetic waves of different frequencies passing through the HPM plasma area were obtained, and the waveforms were normalized. At 32.4 GHz, the transmission coefficient of continuous electromagnetic waves passing through the plasma area with plasma is about twice as high as that through the area without plasma. A simulation model was established, and the transmission coefficient distribution curve in the range of 31.5−32.5 GHz was obtained. The electromagnetic wave passing through the plasma showed a transmission enhancement effect, and at some frequency points, there was a transmission enhancement of about 1.9 times. The research results provides important technical support for the application of plasma in stealth, emergency communications, and black barrier communications.
