AN INVESTIGATION OF HIGH-FREQUENCY DISCHARGE IN THE BAND FROM 1.5 TO 15 MC III

Abstract

The mechanism of the development of steady highfrequency corona discharge and an explanation of its change into torch discharge are presented. The mechanism of the development of high-frequency corona discharge can be explained on the basis of avalanch-streamer theory when the development of torch discharge occurs as a result of the gradual formation of high-frequency plasma, in the space occupied by the torch, during many field cycles. High-frequency corona discharge changes to torch discharge at frequencies where the active duration of the voltage half-cycle is less than 0.03 microsecond, the time necessary for streamer formation.
