PLASMA DENSITY REDUCTION USING ELECTROMAGNETIC E×B FIELD DURING REENTRY FLIGHTKim, Minkwan, Keidar, Michael, Boyd, Iain D., Morris, David 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / As a vehicle reenters or flies at hypersonic speed through the atmosphere, the surrounding air is
shock heated and becomes weakly ionized. The plasma layer thus formed causes a
communication problem known as ‘radio blackout’. At sufficiently dense plasma conditions, the
plasma layer either reflects or attenuates radio wave communications to and from the vehicle. In
this paper, we propose an electromagnetic field configuration as a method to allow
communication through the plasma layer. Theoretical models show that this may address the
blackout problem under a range of conditions. Preliminary experimental results are also
presented.

PLASMA TELEMETRY IN HYPERSONIC FLIGHTStarkey, Ryan P., Lewis, Mark J., Jones, Charles H. 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Problems associated with telemetry blackout caused by the plasma sheath surrounding a hypersonic vehicle are addressed. In particular, the critical nature of overcoming this limitation for test and evaluation purposes is detailed. Since the telemetry blackout causes great concern for atmospheric cruise vehicles, ballistic missiles, and reentry vehicles, there have been many proposed approaches to solving the problem. This paper overviews aerodynamic design methodologies, for which the required technologies are only now being realized, which may allow for uninterrupted transmission through a plasma sheath. The severity of the signal attenuation is dependent on vehicle configuration, trajectory, flightpath, and mission.
