Abstract:

A method for the continuous diagnosis of the electron concentration in plasma is based on a fast, automatically regulated system containing a tunable SHF generator which is tuned to the plasma frequency. The resolution of the system in the SHF band is of the order of a nanosecond, which is several orders of magnitude higher than the resolution obtainable with known automatic devices. Another advantage of the method is that it can be used to continuously perform exact, quantitative analyses of plasma formation and decay.
