摘要
Abstract During spacecraft re-entry, the challenge of measuring plasma sheath parameters directly contributes to difficulties in addressing communication blackout. In this work, we have discovered a phenomenon of multiple peaks in reflection data caused by the inhomogeneous plasma. Simulation results show that the multi-peak points fade away as the characteristic frequency is approached, resembling a series of gradually decreasing peaks. The positions and quantities of these points are positively correlated with electron density, yet they show no relation to collision frequency. This phenomenon is of significant reference value for future studies on the spatial distribution of plasmas, particularly for using microwave reflection signals in diagnosing the plasma sheath.
