Experimental investigations and simulations of loop antenna excited whistler waves in a cylindrical low temperature plasma are presented. Experiments are performed in the VINETA [Franck et al., Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 14, 226 (2005)] device and simulations are generated using IPF-FD3D [C. Lechte, IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 37, 1099 (2009)], an implementation of the Yee-algorithm. A good agreement of the experiment and the simulation is found. The simulation is used to predict the spatial structure of the wave, the dominant source of the electric field, the relative contribution of electron, and displacement current as well as parallel and perpendicular currents to the magnetic field of the wave.
