In this paper, the radiation characteristics of Yagi-Uda antenna operating at High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) are examined. Upon employing method of moments, the current distribution on the antenna emerges from the solution of matrix equation. It is found that the angular distribution of electric field intensity generated in free space by the antenna, obtained by evaluating the integral of associated current distribution, is characterized by patterns with significant portion of radiation beam in the main lobe in the direction of Yagi axis. This is accompanied by relatively small undesirable radiation in the minor lobe, and which persist over those communication frequencies. It is observed also that the current distribution that generates the radiated electric field patterns is relatively consistent over the same range of frequency.

We derive the analytical solution of the Boltzmann equation for the stationary electron distribution function that is reached in a plasma generated on the application of a uniform very high-frequency electric field in an atomic gas. The theory includes all excitation transitions: ionization and electronic transitions. The analytic solution is also extended to continuous discharges with low electric field or high pressure in the gas. Then the electron rate coefficient for excitation of the first state (which is the most significant) is calculated analytically. We apply the results to the modelling of very high-frequency argon discharges and to high-pressure continuous discharges in argon and in sodium. The results are compared with numerical results of Ferreira and co-workers for argon and of LaVerne for sodium: in both cases we find good agreement between numerical and analytical approaches.
