Effect of sheath thickness on the propagation constant of electromagnetic waves propagating along thin plasma layer coated metallic surface

Solving or mitigating the blackout problem suffered by hypersonic vehicles as they re-enter the atmosphere is essential for the smooth communication of hypersonic vehicles. An antenna–sheath–plasma layer configuration is proposed, whose analytical results indicate that the attenuation of the wave mo...
