Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor plasma antenna apparatus. The apparatus includes: a cell array unit in which a plurality of PIN diode cells are arranged, and in which a cell pattern is formed by using a predefined PIN diode cell among the plurality of PIN diode cells; and a driver circuit unit configured to control a drive of the predefined PIN diode cell, wherein the driver circuit unit comprises: a direct-current conversion unit equipped with a DC-DC converter configured to drive a diode load of the cell pattern by applying an output voltage to a PIN diode cell corresponding to the cell patterns formed in the cell array unit; and a constant current controller configured to controlling a plasma concentration of the PIN diode cell by controlling a constant current for the diode load of the cell pattern.
