Submillimeter-wave production by upshifted reflection from a moving ionization front
Abstract
The Doppler shift and reflection coefficients are calculated for reflection of an electromagnetic (EM) wave from a moving ionization front in a stationary gas. It is suggested that this process can be used to upshift microwaves to submillimeter waves.
