Automatically Controlled Frequency-Tunable rf Plasma Thruster: Ion Beam and Thrust Measurements

A fast and automatically controlled frequency-tunable radiofrequency (rf) system is installed in an rf plasma thruster consisting of a stepped-diameter insulator source tube wound by a single-turn loop antenna and a solenoid providing a magnetic nozzle, and immersed in vacuum. The frequency and the...
