  • Abstract
    The current distributions on a cylindrical monopole antenna in hot plasmas of varioas densities have been measured. It has been observed that the antenna carrent distribution is essentially controlled by the electro-magnetic mode when the antenna frequency is higher than the plasma frequency. When the antenna frequency is lower than the plasma frequency, the antenna current distribution exhibit unusual behavior. The effect of the electroacoustic mode on the antenna current is discussed.
