Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the average velocity of ions in a directional plasma beam with density fluctuation characteristics. Background technique
[0002] Oriented plasma beams have been widely used in the fields of etching and aerospace propulsion. The average ejection velocity of ions is one of the important indicators of oriented plasma, but its measurement has always been a difficult problem, especially its dynamic characteristics.
[0003] Steady-state plasma engine (SPT) is a kind of electric propulsion device, which is widely used in high-orbit satellite attitude maintenance, orbit transfer, deep space exploration and other fields. SPT heats electrons by an electric field to ionize an inert gas as a working medium, and the formed plasma is accelerated by an electric field to form a high-speed directional plasma jet, and its specific impulse (that is, the average ejection speed of ions relative to the device) can reach 2000...
