Abstract:
This engineering project is to study the influence of plasma antenna shape on antenna
frequency and radiation patterns. It will focus on the study of plasma antennas using lamps to
study how the shape changes affect the plasma antenna. It was found that different frequency
can be operated when use different shape of lamps. In addition, changing the input power to
all bulb shapes, with the minimum power input of 0 watts and the maximum power of 60
watts, the frequency is shifted 90, 60, 20 and 60 MHz. Therefore, if feed different power inputs
to the same bulb shape, the frequency of the antenna will change.
