Approximate Model of the Coaxial Pulsed Plasma Thruster
Abstract— The aim of this work is to create an approximate mathematical model of a helicon type
plasma source (coaxial pulsed plasma thruster) and calculation based on the developed
multiparameter computational model.
Index Terms— High frequency ion source, RF low-pressure discharge, helicon discharge,
mathematical model, ionization, non-uniform electric and magnetic fields.
