Abstract:

Approximations have been considered which lead to a simplified model for non-linear microwave breakdown. Using the simplified model the author has then analytically considered the propagation of a high power plane wave into a steady state partial derivative of n with respect to t 0 gaseous half-space. The author also presented numerical results for the non-steady state case partial derivative of n with respect to t is not 0. Author
