The characteristics of a hemispherical monopole in a plasma are studied. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental results shows that the theoretical model describes correctly the characteristics of a real system for plasmas in which 0<..cap omega../sub p//..omega..<3 and 0.01< or =..nu../..omega..< or =1.0 for frequencies in the range 0.08c/a<..omega..<0.61c/a. The good agreement between theory and experiment means that it is possible to use a hemispherical monopole as a microwave probe for diagnostics of plasmas with parameters in the specified ranges. The sensitivity of this device as a microwave probe is roughly twice as good as that of an aperture antenna.
