RADIATION CONDUCTANCE OF AN AXIAL SLOT IN A CONDUCTING CYLINDER COATED WITH A MOVING PLASMA LAYER.

The radiation conductance of an axial slot on a perfectly conducting circular cylinder coated with a moving isotropic plasma layer is considered. Numerical results are presented to iillustrate the radiation conductance as a function of the plasma velocity and the plasma frequency of oscillation. It is found that for a given plasma velocity the radiation conductance decreases continuously with the thickness of the plasma layer. On the other hand, for a given plasma thickness a significant change in the radiation conductance occurs when the wave frequency is near the plasma frequency of oscillation.
