The interaction of a plane electromagnetic wave with a flat free-space – plasma interface has been considered for arbitrary angles of incidence. It is shown that the plasma can support independent horizontally and vertically polarized waves. Expressions and graphical representations are given showing the amount of energy entering the plasma as a function of angle of incidence and plasma parameters. The vertically polarized case shows a maximum in the energy entering the plasma at the "Brewster angle". For a lossy plasma, at this maximum, there will be reflection. Loci of constant Brewster angle appear as concentric curves centered on the origin of the complex dielectric coefficient plane.The elliptical polarization of a plane wave reflected from the interface, when a wave with equal horizontally and vertically polarized components is incident on the interface, suggests the similarity of lossless plasmas to ordinary dielectrics and of lossy plasmas to metals.

Transmission, reflection and absorption of a transverse electromagnetic wave by a thermal plasma slab of finite width are investigated theoretically. By solving the Maxwell–Boltzmann equations using a mode-analysis method under appropriate boundary conditions, the coefficients of transmission and reflection of the electromagnetic wave and the absorption rate by plasma electrons are obtained as Fourier series. We discuss the relevant physics of the results.

In this paper, we present the application of a resonant electric based metamaterial element and its two-dimensional metasurface implementation for a variety of emerging wireless applications. Metasurface apertures developed in this work are synthesized using sub-wavelength sampled resonant electric-based unit-cell structures and can achieve electromagnetic wave manipulation at microwave frequencies. The presented surfaces are implemented in a variety of forms, from absorption surfaces for energy harvesting and wireless power transfer to wave-chaotic surfaces for compressive sensing based single-pixel direction of arrival estimation and reflecting surfaces. It is shown that the resonant electric-synthesized metasurface concept offers a significant potential for these applications with high fidelity absorption, transmission and reflection characteristics within the microwave frequency spectrum.
