  • Abstract
    The plasma sheath which characterizes aperture breakdwon causes severe attenuation and phase distortion of the transmitted signal in the broadside direction as reported previously. In this paper the main concern in focused on the experimental radiation pattern and how it is affected by the breakdwon sheath for a wide range of gas pressures and breakdown power levels.
