Perfomance Analysis of the Loop-Shaped Plasma Antenna Under Different Pressure Conditions

Abstract

This study examines the effect of different pressures on the radiation characteristics of the loop-shaped plasma antenna filled by two gases; Argon and Nitrogen. Proposed loop plasma antennas operating at LTE and Wi-Fi frequency bands have been designed and its performance studied at three different pressures of 2.28, 5 and 10 Torr. The radiation characteristics of the both loop-shaped plasma antennas have been investigated and presented for three different pressures. To analyze the performance of the proposed antenna, full-wave simulation were run using the finite integral method software, CST Microwave Studio.
