The ion current and sheath impedance were measured at the radio-frequency-powered electrode of an asymmetric, capacitively coupled plasma reactor, for discharges in argon at 1.33{endash}133 Pa. The measurements were used to test the models of the radio frequency sheath derived by Lieberman [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. {bold 17}, 338 (1989)] and Godyak and Sternberg [Phys. Rev. A {bold 42}, 2299 (1990)], and establish the range of pressure and sheath voltage in which they are valid. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
