Abstract: | The principle of surface wave plasma discharge in a rectangular
cavity is introduced simply based on surface plasmon polariton
theory. The distribution of surface-wave electric field at the
interface of the plasma-dielectric slab is investigated by using the
three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method (3D-FDTD)
with different slot-antenna structures. And the experimental image
of discharge with a novel slot antenna array and the simulation of
the electric field with this slot antenna array are both displayed.
Combined with the distribution of surface wave excitation and
experimental results, the numerical simulation performed by using
3D-FDTD is shown to be a useful tool in the computer-aided antenna
design for large area planar-type surface-wave plasma sources. |
