Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS) Conference Start Date: 2015, May 24 Conference End Date: 2015, May 28 Conference Location: Antalya, Turkey After our previous advancement for the Appleton-Hartree theory by extending the existing theory to include the plasma thermal effect, we present enhanced absorption rates for microwaves within the C-band from warm plasma. Thermal effects are important in electromagnetic wave propagation in the ionosphere as well as in the emerging applications of stealth technology.
