Influence of density fluctuations on the O–X mode conversion and on microwave propagation

Full-wave simulations are performed in order to investigate the interaction of plasma density perturbations and microwaves. The perturbations are divided into two cases: A single blob-like structure and a fully turbulent density profile. The resulting scattering of a microwave beam and the effect o...
