A Reconfigurable Monopole Antenna with Fluorescent Tubes by Using Plasma Windowing Concepts for 4.9GHz Application.

by Hajar Ja'afar, Mohd Tarmizi B. Ali, Ahmad Nazri B. Dagang, Hanisah Mohd Zali, and Nur Aina Halili

This paper aimed at investigating the performance of plasma windowing concept in terms of radiation pattern, gain, and S-parameter. The antenna structure consists of 12 tubes of commercial fluorescent lamps that contain a mixture of mercury vapor and argon gas, which upon electrification, forms plasma. After getting sufficient voltage, the gas inside the fluorescent tube will ionize to plasma and form a plasma column. more...
