Abstract
Reconfiguration methods of radiation pattern in bipolar-excited plasma antenna system are studied in this paper. The reconfiguration model of bipolar-excited plasma antenna is analyzed by using Boltzmann equation, BGK collision model and related theory of antenna, etc. The effects of plasma parameters on the radiation pattern are simulated by CST software. Through related experiments, the validity of reconfiguration model is testified. Results obtained indicate that the model has good precisions and can be used to calculate and analyze the bipolar-excited plasma antenna.
Keywords: Plasma antenna, bipolar-excited, radiation pattern, reconfigurable characteristics.
