  • Abstract
    This report is a summary of an extensive research program on plasma antennas. We have found that plasma antennas are just as effective as metal antennas. In addition, they can transmit, receive, and reflect lower frequency signals while being transparent to higher frequency signals. When de-energized, they electrically disappear. Plasma noise does not appear to be a problem.
