Abstract

Issues of electromagnetic wave interaction with artificial plasma formations generated by electric propulsions are discussed in this paper. A general procedure for the test study of such plasma formation scattering properties under ground conditions is considered. Mechanisms for the influence of plasma formation parameters on its backscattering pattern are discussed by means of examples derived from the tests.
