Debye Screening Length: Ranges of Plasma Parameters

The document discusses plasma antennas and their potential advantages over traditional antennas. Plasma antennas use ionized gas as the radiating element which can be rapidly energized and de-energized to transmit signals. This prevents signal degradation and provides characteristics like low probability of intercept and detection by radar. Researchers at ANU investigated the feasibility of plasma antennas and worked with industrial partners to further develop and commercialize the technology for applications where reduced detectability is important.

influence (called the Debye sphere whose radius is the Debye screening length) falls in themicrowave region.

Plasma elements can be energized and de 1. energized in seconds, whichprevents signal degradation. When a particular plasma element is not energized, its radiationdoes not affect nearby elements. HF CDMA Plasma antennas will have low probability of intercept (LP) and low probability of a particular particle is higher than unity to provide collective behavior of the charged particles. The average number of particles in the Debye sphere is given by the plasma parameter, "" (the Greek letter Lambda). 2. Bulk interactions: The Debye screening length (defined above) is short compared to the physical size of the plasma. This criterion means that interactions in the bulk of the plasma are more important than those at its edges, where boundary effects may take place. When this criterion is satisfied, the plasma is quasineutral. fourth state of matter, now called plasma, in 1879. Plasma is by far the most commonform of matter. Plasma in the stars and in the tenuous space between them makes up over 99% of the visible universe and perhaps most of that which is not visible. Important to ASI's technology,plasmas are conductive assemblies of charged and neutral particles and fields that exhibitcollective effects. Plasmas carry electrical currents and generate magnetic fields.When the Plasma Antenna Research Laboratory at ANU investigated the feasibility of plasma antennas as low radar cross-section radiating elements, Redcentre established a network between DSTO ANU researchers, CEA Technologies, Cantec Australasia and Neolite Neon forfurther development and future commercialization of this technology.The plasma antenna R & D project has proceeded over the last year at the AustralianNational University in response to a DSTO (Defence Science and Technology Organisation)contract to develop a new antenna solution that minimizes antenna detectability by radar. Sincethen, an investigation of the wider technical issues of existing antenna systems has revealed areaswhere plasma antennas might be useful. The project attracts the interest of the industrial groupsinvolved 3. Plasma frequency: The electron plasma frequency (measuring plasma oscillations of the electrons) is large compared to the electron-neutral collision frequency (measuring frequency of collisions between electrons and neutral particles). When this condition is valid, electrostatic interactions dominate over the processes of ordinary gas kinetics.

Ranges of plasma parameters


Plasma parameters can take on values varying by many orders of magnitude, but the properties of plasmas with apparently disparate parameters may be very similar (see plasma scaling). The following chart considers only conventional atomic plasmas and not exotic phenomena like quark gluon plasmas:
