Electromagnetic Scattering Properties of a Resonant Plasma

摘要: A column of ionized mercury vapor is placed in a parallel plate transmission line and the resulting reflection coefficient observed. From measurement as function discharge current, plasma resonance demonstrated. In accordance with theory applied, but contrast to results other investigators, found at only one value current. The current required produce measured frequency. functional dependence observed predicted by theory, higher than theoretical value. gas pressure. that follows theoretically pressures, deviates sharply from form lower pressures.
