ABSTRACT:
An ionized plasma based radiant electromagnetic energy steering or diverting apparatus wherein controlled differences in plasma density and resulting plasma electron density achieve phase shift, reflection or refraction of the controlled radiant electromagnetic energy. Plasma density determination through use of selected plasma control electrode electrical potentials and hence by the waveforms applied to plasma-adjacent electrodes is employed. Plasma controlled radiant electromagnetic energy is thereby usable for inertia free steering of a radar beam or for other applications of radiant electromagnetic energy. Radiant electromagnetic energy control by way of pass-through refraction of the energy and reflection of the energy directly from the plasma and also by reflection involving a reflector element are included. Radio frequency and optical electromagnetic energy wavelengths for the radiant electromagnetic energy are included.
