ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, the experimental observation of a dipole-like pattern in the polar variation of the wave electric field intensity in the central plasma region was reported. The observation provided a major support for the development of the wave-plasma interaction model in the bounded, inhomogeneous magnetoplasma in the multicusp (MC). Rotation of the polarization axis with respect to vacuum case and distortion of the dipole pattern was observed in the presence of plasma. In this chapter, the polar wave electric field measurements are carried out in detail and compared to the wave-plasma interaction model developed in Chapter 13.
