Plasma source for telecomunication applications

Reference TD-IT-1010

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

Plasma antennas use ionized gas as a conductive medium to transmit, receive, or reflect electromagnetic signals. They consist of plasma sources, signal circuits, and electronics for plasma generation and signal processing.

Their performance depends on adjustable plasma properties like density and gas type, allowing dynamic control of frequency and directivity. 

Plasma antennas offer key advantages over traditional antennas, including dynamic control of performance through plasma parameters, enabling beamforming, steering, and frequency hopping without mechanical parts

APPLICATION AREAS

MIMO systems, urban telecommunications infrastructure, satellite ground segment and space communications
