Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of electromagnetics and plasma diagnosis, and in particular relates to a method for diagnosing parameters of non-uniform plasma based on the local penetration effect of microwaves. Background Art
[0002] When an aircraft flies at a supersonic speed between 20 and 100 kilometers above the ground, its head surface will rub against the air violently to form a plasma sheath, which will cause attenuation and phase shift of electromagnetic waves, seriously affecting the quality of communication and may even cause radio interruption, i.e. the "blackout" phenomenon. In order to predict, evaluate and even alleviate the "blackout" phenomenon, it is necessary to diagnose the plasma sheath parameters, which generally include electron density and collision frequency.
[0003] Microwave diagnosis is one of the main methods of plasma diagnosis, which includes two types: invasive and non-invasive. Invasive microwave diagnosis mainly uses probes, including microwave resonance probes, plasma impedance probes, plasma absorption probes, etc. Non-invasive microwave diagnosis can be divided into microwave reflection method and microwave transmission method. Microwave reflection method uses the amplitude and phase obtained by the reflection of electromagnetic waves on the plasma interface to diagnose plasma parameters, and microwave transmission method uses the attenuation of electromagnetic waves through the plasma to infer the electron density and collision frequency.
[0004] Existing plasma diagnostic technology has the following disadvantages:
[0005] Electrostatic probes and microwave probes are invasive diagnostic methods that can interfere with the plasma flow field, such as changing the flow pattern and forming a space charge sheath, and are generally unable to diagnose collision frequencies;
[0006] Although the microwave transmission method does not interfere with the plasma being measured, it requires multiple transmitting and receiving channels, and generally has a low spatial resolution, and cannot accurately diagnose the distribution of plasma electron density;
[0007] The traditional microwave reflection method is based on the total reflection of electromagnetic waves at different positions in the plasma, and the electron density is estimated from the incident frequency to diagnose the profile. This method ignores the influence of the plasma layer near the reflection surface on the reflection amplitude and phase, and the diagnostic accuracy is insufficient. Summary of the invention

[0014] S5, iteratively inverting the plasma density rising edge profile based on the local penetration effect and non-uniform partitioning results;
[0015] S6, at the initial inversion frequency f 1 At , the collision frequency is gradually increased until the reflection coefficient amplitude of the inversion profile along the rising edge at this frequency point is close to the reflection coefficient amplitude of the measured curve. This value is the collision frequency inversion value, and the collision frequency diagnosis is completed; wherein, this value is the collision frequency that makes the reflection coefficient amplitude of the inversion profile along the rising edge close to the reflection coefficient amplitude of the measured curve;
[0016] S7. Based on the collision frequency diagnosis results, multiple distribution models are modeled, the attenuation coefficient is determined by the amplitude of the plasma reflection coefficient, and the reflection coefficient amplitude curve is obtained by sweeping the attenuation coefficient;
[0017] S8. Compare the reflection coefficient amplitude curve with the standard amplitude curve to determine whether the second inflection point of the reflection coefficient amplitude curve is closest to the standard amplitude curve. If so, complete the falling edge distribution diagnosis; otherwise, return to step S7.

For each distribution model, adjust the value of the attenuation coefficient a, and sweep the frequency incident for the distribution model on the right side of the peak and the distribution model on the left side of the equal peak obtained by inversion, and compare the obtained reflection coefficient amplitude curve with the standard amplitude curve to observe whether the second inflection point of the curve is closest to the standard curve. If so, the right distribution model at this time is determined to be the original plasma peak right distribution. Otherwise, change the value of a, adjust the model, and repeat this step until the plasma peak right distribution diagnosis is completed.
[0089] In this embodiment, multiple modeling assumptions are made for the falling edge profile, and the attenuation coefficient is determined by the second inflection point of the reflection coefficient amplitude curve being closest to the standard curve.

The reflection coefficient amplitude and phase are obtained by sweeping the frequency from 4 to 18 GHz for the plasma. Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown.

At this time, the reflection coefficient amplitude curve and the plasma electron density distribution inversion result are as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 After calculation, the electron density distribution obtained by the layer-by-layer inversion of electron density distribution and collision frequency diagnosis method based on the local penetration characteristics of plasma is very close to the original distribution, and the relative error of collision frequency diagnosis is 4.2%.
[0093] In summary, the present invention takes into account the local penetration characteristics of electromagnetic waves in plasma when performing plasma electron density distribution inversion, making the diagnosis result more accurate. The present invention is applicable to the diagnosis of plasma model parameters with various different distributions, including double Gaussian distribution, parabolic distribution, exponential distribution, etc. The plasma parameter diagnosis method of the present invention can diagnose the electron density distribution and collision frequency at the same time, making the diagnosis more efficient.
