Abstract :
A method is described for obtaining the frequency-dependent amplitude and phase of the reflection coefficient of a plasma electron density profile. This is accomplished by measuring the response of the plasma to a fast-rising voltage pulse. The waveform of the pulse is Fourier transformed using a small computer.
