Zusammenfassung:A plasma antenna assembly may include a plasma antenna element, a plasma density sensor operably coupled to the plasma antenna element to measure plasma density during ionization of the plasma antenna element, a driver circuit operably coupled to the plasma antenna element to selectively provide pulsed current to the plasma antenna element for ionization of plasma in the plasma antenna element, and a controller operably coupled to the driver circuit and the plasma density sensor to provide control of the plasma density of the plasma antenna element.
