Abstract: Radiation properties of
axially slotted elliptical antenna embedded in anisotropic plasma material are
studied theoretically. The fields are expressed in terms of Fourier series with
unknown constants. The radiated field constants are obtained using the boundary
value method by invoking the boundary conditions at various surfaces. Results
are plotted graphically for the radiation patterns for different geometries and
electrical parameters. The results show
that the presence of the anisotropic plasma coating has affected the main beam
while elliptic antenna beam is less oscillated compared to circular one for the
same coating thickness
