Abstract

The interaction between incident transverse magnetic (TM) waves and nonuniform plasma cylinder is investigated. The forward and backscattering fields of incident TM microwave are calculated and analyzed by using the scattering matrix model. The dependences of the scattering field on plasma electron density, collision frequency, and incident frequency are analyzed, respectively. The electric field distribution across the section of the plasma cylinder is deduced, visually shown, and discussed.
