Abstract

The broadband microwave propagating characteristics of a novel, large volume, glow-discharge argon plasma is reported in this paper. A large volume, glow-discharge argon plasma was designed and the basic plasma parameters were determined using an Impedans Ltd. Langmuir probe under a variety of conditions. The transmission attenuation was recorded by using S parameters of a vector network analyzer with the frequency range from 2GHz to 18GHz and a propagation model was established using the Z transform FDTD method for simulating the attenuation of microwave. The effects of both the gas pressure and input power on the EM wave propagation are analyzed. The results showed that the theoretical and experimental results of transmission attenuation were in good agreement. Moreover, the electron density ne and the effective collision rate vc were found to play important roles in the propagation of microwave.
