The Influence of Dusty Size Distribution Model on Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves in Inhomogeneous Plasma Sheath

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a linear distribution model, a double exponential distribution model and a hyperbolic number distribution model are developed, and the effect of dust particle size distribution on its attenuation coefficient is considered. On this basis, the transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves in dusty plasma under different electron density distribution models are investigated. The attenuation coefficients of electromagnetic waves are derived in detail using analytical methods, and the effects of electromagnetic wave frequency, particle collision frequency and dust particle density on the transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves are discussed. The results show that the choice of terahertz wave as the carrier wave and the appropriate change of particle collision frequency can improve the attenuation of electromagnetic waves. In summary, the relevant research can provide some theoretical references for propagation science.
