Summary:
A unit-cell of plasma-excitation slotted waveguide arrays is analyzed by the GSM-MoM/FDTD hybridization method. In the GSM method, S-parameters of the analysis model are calculated by connecting S-parameters of subdivided blocks. S-parameters of vacuum window including plasma are analyzed by the FDTD method together with discretized motion equation for the electron. Measured electron density and temperature are used as macroscopic plasma parameter in the FDTD analysis of plasma as well as spatial gradation of plasma parameters.
