Abstract A simple method is proposed for
determining the electric field pattern along microwave applicators. The
RF-field is used to strike a discharge in a small tube containing a gas at
low pressure and the light emitted by the discharge serves as an indication
of the magnitude of the electric field in the zone where the tube is located.
This method has been applied to study the relative electric field
distribution along a periodic structure and the distortions produced in this
distribution in the presence of imperfections in the structure. |
