A systematic review is given of super-high-frequency methods of plasma investigation. Methods based on plasma emission are not included. Plasma probing by weak, highfrequency fields obtain data on plasma conductivity. The relation of active and reactive plasma conductivity components to electron concentration and electron interaction frequency are used for determining plasma concentration and in analyzing electron interactions with atoms and ions. Conductivity measurements yield data used in evaluating mean electron energy (electron temperature). The influence of spatial plasma dispersion on plasma conductivity is analyzed. Theoretical bases and applications of resonator, wave guide, and free spatial methods are discussed. 96 references. (R.V.J.)
