Effect of non-ionizing reaction rate (assumed to be controllable) on the plasma generation mechanism and communication around RAMC vehicle during atmospheric reentry

Abstract Radio frequency (RF) blackout occurs during radio attenuation measurement C (RAMC) vehicle reentry due to the attenuation effect of the plasma sheath on the communication signal. In recent years, the mitigation mechanism of chemical reaction for RF blackout problem has gradually been studie...
