Abstract :
Plasma is an ionized gas where electrons, ions and neutral particles coexist with a certain amount, but maintaining global neutrality. Free charges given by gas ionization provide plasma with a specific conductivity so that a plasma element can be favorably used to realize antennas and reflectors [1], [2], [3].
