Abstract

The paper presents: a brief description of the mathematical model for calculation of induced electric field in the chamber of radiofrequency ion engine and the electron temperature. Calculated values are shown for different variants of the model settings - step of winding the inductor, effect of ion-optical system.

Keywords:

electric propulsion; RF ion engine, high-frequency discharge; modeling.
