Model for resonant plasma probe

Johnson, William Arthur.; Coats, Rebecca S.; Jorgenson, Roy E.; Hebner, Gregory A.

This report constructs simple circuit models for a hairpin shaped resonant plasma probe. Effects of the plasma sheath region surrounding the wires making up the probe are determined. Electromagnetic simulations of the probe are compared to the circuit model results. The perturbing effects of the disc cavity in which the probe operates are also found.
