Abstract
The measurement of the change in power coupled between slots is proposed as a technique for determining the integrated electron density of the plasma sheath on a sharp slender conical re-entry vehicle. The coupling change also provides direct on-board monitoring of plasma signal attenuation when thin sheath criteria are satisfied.
