摘要：

This paper describes investigations into methods of generating a planar plasma for use as a reflector for radar waves. The application is a reflector for radar waves. The use of the plasma reflector could allow electronic beam steering at frequencies above what is generally viable for phased arrays. Three aspects of the planar plasma production are investigated: localization of the plasma, main plasma production, and longterm viability of the system. Possible applications include ship-based antennae at X-band, airborne antennae at 94 GHz, and space-based antennae at 60 GHz.
