Measurement of the Electronic Density of Ionized Media by Hyperfrequency Methods; MEASURE DE LA DENSITE ELECTRONIQUE DES MILIEUX IONISES PAR DES METHODES HYPERFREQUENCES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4066377

Within the limits of the INSTN courses on plasmas, this analytioal study summarizes the articles quoted in the references on hyperfrequency techniques for the measurement of electronic density of an ionized gas. It is neither exhaustive nor complete, and further details may be obtained by referring to the works mentioned. The first part, devoted to the theoretical side, concerns the propagation of electromagnetic waves in ionized media and the excitation of stationary waves in electromagnetic cavities. The second part deals with the measurement techniques themselves. It includes those techniques that have become classics and more recent ores being developed in various laboratories and in the Service of Applied Physics at Saclay. (auth)
