Research on propagation characteristics of an electromagnetic wave in magnetized fully ionized dusty plasma

When some spacecraft fly at high speed in near-earth space, the dusty plasma is attached to the surface of the spacecraft due to the intense friction between the spacecraft and the space. The dusty plasma attached to the aircraft hinders the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves and affects the flight safety of the pilot. In this paper, we replace the collision term of the general Boltzmann equation with the Fokker-Planck-Landau collision term and obtain the general correlation expression of the electron distribution function in the fully ionized dusty plasma. The dielectric relation of EM waves in magnetized fully ionized dusty plasma is calculated considering the impact effect and charging effect of dust particles in the case of an external magnetic field. The reflection coefficient (R) and transmission coefficient (T) of the EM wave in magnetized fully ionized dusty plasma are calculated by a scattering matrix method. The effects of applied magnetic field intensity and dust particle parameters on the propagation characteristics of EM waves in magnetized fully ionized dusty plasma are discussed by simulation. In addition, the propagation characteristics of EM waves in ordinary plasma and magnetized fully ionized dusty plasma are compared. The results show that with the increase in the additional magnetic field, the reflection of the EM wave in the fully ionized dusty plasma decreases and the transmission increases. In the 0-100 GHz band, dust particles block EM waves from penetrating fully ionized dusty plasma. Other dusty plasma parameters also affect the propagation characteristics of EM waves to varying degrees. These results provide a theoretical reference for solving the communication related problems of high-speed aircraft.
