Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an antenna used in the technical field of communication, in particular to a self-reconfigurable plasma antenna. Background technique

[0002] A traditional antenna is defined as a metal device for transmitting and receiving radio waves, or a metal conductor with a certain shape and structure. Therefore, the antenna design in the past has focused on the geometric structure, physical size, metal material selection, electrical coupling structure, multi-antenna design, and / or electromagnetic waveform characteristics of the antenna, such as the transmission wavelength, transmission efficiency, and transmission waveform of the antenna during operation. reflection and more. The size of an antenna is closely related to its radiation efficiency. In order to radiate energy as efficiently as possible, the length of the antenna is usually half or quarter wavelength. In this sense, once the size of an antenna using metal as a conductor i...

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention includes: a cylindrical container 1 , an inert gas 2 , a radio frequency excitation antenna 3 , a radio frequency excitation source 4 , a signal coupler 5 , a feed port 6 , and a ground plate 7 . The cylindrical container 1 is filled with an inert gas 2. When the gas is ionized, plasma can be formed. At this time, the plasma column in the cylindrical container can be used as a conductor of the antenna to emit or receive electromagnetic waves. The radio frequency excitation source 4 and the radio frequency excitation antenna 3 are used to excite and maintain the plasma. The radio frequency excitation antenna 3 is placed inside or outside the cylindrical container, and its lead wire is connected to the radio frequency excitation source 4 . When the radio frequency excitation source 4 is working, a radio frequency spiral electric field will be generated around the radio frequency excitation antenna 3, and the gas in the cyli...
