A customized measurement system for the assessment of electromagnetic interference caused by plasma plumes

This paper presents a customized measurement system for the assessment of the electromagnetic interference caused by plasma plumes, mainly in terms of spurious modulation effects, generated by the plasma channel saturation and depletion, and related effects on noise and inter-modulations. The goal of the experiments is to obtain a comprehensive set of experimental data to validate and complement theoretical and prediction data about plasma plume-induced modulation phenomena.
