Investigation of a parametric instability between ELF and VLF modes driven by antennas immersed in a cold, magnetized plasma

D. Main, V. Sotnikov, J. Caplinger +1

We have studied the behavior of a VLF, ELF and combined ELF/VLF antenna immersed in a cold, magnetized plasma using a fully kinetic, three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulation c…
