摘　　要：We investigate computationally the attenuation and reflection of Terahertz （THz） wave using targets coated with plasmas. The simulators are the Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin （WKB） method and finite-difference timedomain （FDTD） method. The relation between the frequency of the incident electromagnetic （EM） wave and the attenuation caused by unmagnitized plasma is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the amount of absorbed power is a decreasing function of the EM wave frequency and the plasma collision frequency. For THz band incident wave, the attenuation that is caused by plasma is small when the plasma has common density and the collision frequency. This conclusion has fine applying foreground for plasma anti stealth.We investigate computationally the attenuation and reflection of Terahertz （THz） wave using targets coated with plasmas.
