Abstract :
The possibility of transmission of microwaves through the plasma layer with an electron concentration of more than critical value is considered. The problem is solved by consideration of the interaction of a microwave with the plane layer of magnetoactive plasma. The problem is formulated by such a way as to obtain the estimation of the greatest lower bound of microwave transmission coefficient through the plasma layer. The results of numerical parametric investigations are applied for the transparency conditions of the shock wave plasma in space communication. The possibility of stable (without interruptions) microwave communication through the shock wave plasma is demonstrated
