Abstract

This paper present investigation on plasma monopole antenna using a single fluorescent tube and reviews the antenna performance as a transmitter and receiver. From the measurement it is shown that plasma antenna is just effective as metal antennas and it can work as a transmitter and receiver signals. Plasma antenna consists of glass tube filled with some neutral gases such as Argon. In the experiment a commercially available fluorescent tube function as a plasma antenna, with length 0.31m (l) and diameter 0.031m (r) is used as the plasma antenna. The tube was energized by 12 V DC, and 0.8 A current, which is provided by a standard DC power supply. The DC power supply was connected to DC ballast before directed to both electrodes of the fluorescent tube. A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is connected to coupling sleeve. This simulation is performed by using the simulation software Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. The frequency target range 700MHz until 900MHz which is this frequency can apply in ultra high frequency (UHF).

单极荧光管天线在无线通信中的应用

本文对单管等离子体单极天线进行了研究，并对其作为发射和接收天线的性能进行了综述。测量结果表明，等离子体天线与金属天线一样有效，可以作为发射和接收信号。等离子体天线由充有氩气等中性气体的玻璃管构成。本实验采用市售荧光管作为等离子体天线，其长度为0.31m (l)，直径为0.031m (r)。该管由标准直流电源提供的12v直流和0.8 A电流供电。直流电源先连接到直流镇流器，然后再连接到荧光灯管的两个电极。一个矢量网络分析仪(VNA)连接在耦合套上。该仿真是利用计算机仿真技术(CST)微波工作室仿真软件进行的。频率目标范围为700MHz至900MHz，该频率可应用于超高频(UHF)。
