Abstract :
The analysis of self- and mutual admittances for axial rectangular slots in an echelon configuration for a cylinder clad with a radially inhomogeneous plasma is presented. The isolation between

-plane coupled slots for cylinders of different radii clad with a typical low-altitude reentry plasma is compared with ground-plane based calculations for the same plasma conditions.
