Abstract
We solve the Maxwell-Boltzmann equations and calculate reactor impedance fo r helicon device with the Nagoya type m antenna using a finite, width model ing of antenna current and inspect the dependence of various components of impedance on discharge parameters, The total resistance is divided into var ious components Such as electron-ion contributions and axial-perpendicular field contributions. Moreover, the total resistance can be approximately ex pressed as the sum of TG and helicon contributions in a wide range of param eters.
