Abstract

The problem raised in the paper is to determine the spatial distribution of electron number density in board plasma. The solution of the Schturm-Liuwille inverse problem is suggested to be used. The initial data for the solution are, measured on several modes, the values of complex reflection coefficients in the aperture plane of the board antenna. The restoration algorithm of distribution electron number density is examined.
