Description

The plasma impedance is obtained using analytic solutions for wave fields excited by Nagoya type III or Boswell type antennae. Considering the power balance, possible explanations are suggested for the density jumps and for the linear dependence of the plasma density on the magnetic field observed in many helicon plasma sources.
