Effects of Reentry Plasma Sheath on Mutual-Coupling Property of Array Antenna

A plasma sheath enveloping a reentry vehicle would cause the failure of on-board antennas, which is an important effect that contributes to the “blackout” problem. The method of replacing the on-board single antenna with the array antennas and using beamforming technology has been proposed to mitiga...
