The phase shift characteristics reflect the state change of electromagnetic wave in plasma sheath and can be used to reveal deeply the action mechanism between electromagnetic wave and plasma sheath.In this paper,the phase shift characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation in plasma were investigated.Firstly,the impact factors of phase shift including electron density,collision frequency and incident frequency were discussed.Then,the plasma with different electron density distribution profiles were employed to investigate the influence on the phase shift characteristics.In a real case,the plasma sheath around the hypersonic vehicle will affect and even break down the communication.Based on the hypersonic vehicle model,we studied the electromagnetic wave phase shift under different flight altitude,speed,and attack angle.The results indicate that the phase shift is inversely proportional to the flight altitude and positively proportional to the flight speed and attack angle.Our work provides a theoretical guidance for the further research of phase shift characteristics and parameters inversion in plasma.
